nagios4_server_plugins

This role installs and could add easily more plugins and commands plugins to nagios.

Options to add plugins to your nagios:

• Just add the plugin to files/plugins
• Edit some of the vars shown in defaults/main.yml
  • clone repositories with nagios_plugins_repos var.
  • Install from pip3 with nagios_plugins_pip3_packages var.
  • Install from pip2 with nagios_plugins_pip2_packages var.
  • add apt packages with nagios_plugins_apt_packages var.

To install wmic and wmiplus plugin and commands (Also supports Ubuntu 16.04+):

nagios_plugins_install_checkwmiplus: True

Then add the commands to use it, edit templates/commands/command_file.cfg.

Or also add files in templates/commands dir in this role.

Those will be copied automatically to right place.

Please check the actual amount of commands already delivered with plugins. Also check templates/ with two added commands files.
