}

Nagios_contact {
  ensure                        => present,

Nagios plugin packages

Packages for RHEL based operating systems can be found at Inuits' RPM repository A Debian mirror is currently not available yet. Building your own packages is very easy. You will find any necessary information on Inuits' nagios-plugins repository at Github.

Known issues

General

  • Needs proper testing

  • Using multiple Icinga servers with identical usernames you might run into the error below:

    err: Failed to apply catalog: Cannot alias Nagios_contact[icinga.example.org-someuser] to ["someuser"] at /etc/puppet/environments/refactor/modules/icinga/manifests/user.pp:48; resource ["Nagios_contact", "someuser"] already declared

RedHat

  • Be aware if you wish to manage your own package repositories you're in for a treat. You need packages from both the RPMForge and the EPEL repository. However - and here's the tricky part - some of those packages conflict with the ones in the other repository. The easiest way is to take Icinga and it's dependencies from RPMForge. Nagios-plugins related packages should not be taken from this repository otherwise a lot of EPEL packages or plugins will break horribly.

The easy way out: class { icinga: manage_repo => true; }

A more advanced approach would be to set up your own repo. Hipsters these days seem to be fond of Pulp for this purpose.

Debian

  • Some plugins may or may not work
  • The PNP4Nagios plugin requires the backports repository on Squeeze.
  • The PNP4Nagios plugin will not work on anything older than Squeeze.
