Anyone able to get OpenManage for Nagios Core plugin working on Ubuntu

Yes, You should be able to use Dell OpenManage Plug-in in Ubuntu as well.

1. Download the latest Dell OpenManage Plug-in Version 2.0 for Nagios Core installer from the Dell support website at support.dell.com or from Nagios exchange at exchange.nagios.org/.

The installer is packaged as a .tar.gz file named Dell_OpenManage_Plugin_v2.0_Nagios_Core_A00.tar.gz.

 2. Navigate to the location where you have downloaded the folder, and run the following command to extract its contents:

tar -zxvf Dell_OpenManage_Plugin_v2.0_Nagios_Core_A00.tar.gz

 The following folder and files are extracted:

 Dell_OpenManage_Plugin folder

Dell_OM_Plugin_2_0_For_NagiosCore_IG.pdf file

Dell_OM_Plugin_2_0_For_NagiosCore_ReadMe.txt file

license_en.txt file3

 3. Navigate to the Dell_OpenManage_Plugin/Install folder, and then run the following command to invoke the installer:./install.sh

As the other poster said: The installation script always stops, when indicating the location:

/tmp/Dell_OpenManage_Plugin/Install# ./install.sh

Invalid Nagios Core installed location provided.

Hi,

On Ubuntu, whilst the default Nagios installation location is '/usr/local/nagios', it can also be user-defined to be some other location than default location during the installation process.

Could you please tell us the location of Nagios installation on your Ubuntu server?

Thx,

Anupam

I just installed the official nagios3 meta-package, which depends on the nagios3-core package.

There does not seem to be a main installation place:

# dpkg -L nagios3-core

/.

/usr

/usr/sbin

/usr/sbin/nagios3stats

/usr/sbin/nagios3

/usr/share

/usr/share/man

/usr/share/man/man8

/usr/share/man/man8/nagios3.8.gz

/usr/share/man/man8/nagios3stats.8.gz

/usr/share/doc

/usr/lib

/usr/lib/nagios3

/usr/lib/nagios3/p1.pl

/usr/share/doc/nagios3-core

I see many files in /usr/share/nagios3 though. And of course in /etc/nagios3.

Looks like NagiosCore is not properly installed in your machine.

Can you please reinstall NagiosCore using below steps and then try to install Dell OM plugin

I have install all the Perl needed but still no good. Please help. Thanks.

Well, I just installed it from the official package from the official repository.

I personally would say, that most of the people install from packages and not from source.

So it's a little bit annoying, that Dell expects in its installer, that people install from source and don't offer the possibility, that people install from the official package.

Unfortunately, my version is nagios 4.2.1 which is suppose to be the right version to install open manage so that I can use it to monitor Dell Compellent. It is annoying. So any help is much appreciated.

Hi ankit!!

why assume nagios is installed from source !? many people use package system. Is possible specific where put the the files for manual installation in this case or create  new install for nagios package like rpm or .pkg or .deb ?

Thx :)

same here, i wonder why there aint some nagios check probably with alot of dependencies and a config file, to be more portable ?

we got nagios 3.5.1 on ubuntu 16.04.x and dont have a install folder...
