[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#796453: check-mk: agent plugins not included

[Matt Taggart]

Package: src:check-mk
Version: 1.2.6p5-1
Severity: wishlist

An upstream check_mk installs the following agent plugins (and example
 configs):

/usr/share/check_mk/agents/cfg_examples
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/cfg_examples/apache_status.cfg
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/cfg_examples/jolokia.cfg

/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_inventory.aix

/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_logins
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_logwatch
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_logwatch_aix
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_mysql
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_oracle
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_oracle.aix
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_oracle_asm
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_oracle_crs
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_oracle.solaris
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_postgres
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_sap
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_tsm
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_zypper
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/netstat.aix
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/netstat.linux
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/nfsexports
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/nfsexports.solaris
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/nginx_status
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/plesk_backups
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/plesk_domains
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/README
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/runas
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/smart
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/symantec_av
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/unitrends_backup
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/unitrends_replication
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/vxvm
/usr/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/websphere_mq

We don't currently include these in the check-mk-agent package. The
upstream provided agent deb doesn't either. Many don't apply to linux,
many only apply to particular systems, and some explicitly mention they
are slow to run and aren't included by default on purpose.

If there is sufficient demand for any of these plugins we could consider
doing a separate package, as we do for logwatch. We could also consider
putting them in the package under /usr/share/doc/check-mk-agents/plugins/
or something, so that people could copy or symlink to them if they need
them.

So if you need any of these things, please speak up here.

Thanks,
