Looking at #649677 about enabling the check-mk smart plugin... I think this could be handled like we handle the logwatch plugin, with a separate package. That way nodes without smart (like VMs for example) don't need it installed/run.
But there are other things in plugins/ that might be interesting too, and I don't think they all warrant their own package. So maybe we should do something like the nagios plugin does with groupings of plugins in a couple packages. Also: unfortunately having a plugin in /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/ enables it, so we can't just deliver them all there and then count on the administrator to enable the ones we want. We could deliver them to something like /usr/share/check-mk-agents/plugins/ and then instruct the admin to symlink to them... I reviewed the list of available upstream plugins and categorized them: already in debian: mk_logwatch maybe interesting for debian: apache_status isc_dhcpd lnx_quota lvm mailman_lists mk_inventory.linux mk_logins mk_mysql mk_postgres mk_users netstat.linux nfsexports nginx_status runas smart unclear: dnsclient: uses nslookup mk_apt: similar to unattended upgrades? mk_jolokia depend on non-free: db2_mem jar_signature: some oracle thing? kaspersky_av mk_db2.linux mk_oracle mk_oracle_asm mk_oracle_crs mk_sap mk_tsm plesk_backups plesk_domains symantec_av unitrends_backup unitrends_replication vxvm websphere_mq not relevant: (and maybe depend on non-free too) hpux_lunstats hpux_statgrab mk_db2.aix mk_haproxy.freebsd: maybe linux version? mk_inventory.aix mk_inventory.solaris mk_logwatch.aix mk_oracle.aix mk_oracle.solaris mk_sap.aix netstat.aix mk_zypper: SuSE thing nfsexports.solaris If anyone has any opinions on these plugins or how they should be packaged, please send it to #649677. I will try to look at them soon. -- Matt Taggart tagg...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
