Nagios Contrib README
#####################
This directory contains various programs, scripts, etc. that
have been contribed by various people. Read the source code
if you want to find who did what.
Here is a description of what you'll find...
Conversion Programs:
--------------------
- convertcfg.c is a program to quickly convert old "host" config
files to the new template-based object config files. It can also
convert extended host information definitions. Type 'make convertcfg'
to compile the utility.
Additional CGIs:
----------------
- traceroute.cgi is (surprise) a CGI that allows you to do a traceroute
to a specific IP address. Simply do a 'chmod +x' to make it executable
and place it in the CGI directory (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/sbin).
Requires Perl.
- daemonchk.c is a CGI contributed by Karl DeBisschop that can test to
see whether or not the Nagios process is running.
Miscellaneous Goodies:
----------------------
- htaccess.sample is a *sample* .htaccess file that can be used with
Apache to require password authentication for access to the web
interface.
- Automated rpm making.
1. ./configure # to generate contrib/Makefile
2. cd contrib ; make rpm
3. *.rpm will be generated in contrib directory.
