I am trying to get the plugin AS400 to work with our i-series. However, I have no clue on were to start. I have been reading on how to install the plugin and so far (I believe) it is installed somewhere on the system.
A bit of background, I just installed the latest version of CMK 1.5. The idea was to replace the current system running 1.2.6p12. On this old version we have some sort of plugin installed which gives some info over the
i-series.
So I have 2 problems:
···
If to upgrade Check_MK, the plugins are not found anymore. I assume the installation of everything newer than 1.2.6 is so different that it installs somewhere else.
Add to that, that I am not that knowledgeable in linux. So this makes it a bit difficult to head to any direction…
If I start from scratch with 1.5 and the new plugin, I am just as lost…
For the old system we are using CentOS 6 (64bit I think) and Check_MK 1.2.6p12. The AS400 system is like any other.
I managed to get a full backup off of the old system, and was able to restore it onto the 1.5. But after this, nothing works.
Can someone shed some light at least into the basics? That could help a lot
where did you install the plugin in 1.2.6? Nagios Plugins should be
put into siteuser-folder ~/local/lib/nagios/plugins/, and they will
stay there when updating the site - nobody knows if they will remain
working as there were versions 1.2.8 and 1.4.0 between 1.2.6 and 1.5.0
and every version may cause things to be broken, but the plugins will
still be there at the same location...
BR,
Marcel

Thank you for your reply. I did a search for the plugins on the old server. I was able to find them, as in all the files and copied them to the new server. After that I checked the config on the files and made the necessary changes, since the we decided to change the name of the site as well.
All in all, I was able to make everything work again.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Regards,
José

Hi Jose,
