PNP4Nagios for Debian
---------------------
+PNP4Nagios supports several modes of operation. They differ in the way how
+performance data is being processed and, thus, the efficiency of PNP. Detailed
+documentation is available at <http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/modes>.
+
+Using bulk mode for Nagios3
+---------------------------
+
We recommend to use bulk mode with NPCD and npcdmod. This will facilitate an
easy installation and fast processing of performance data. To enable NPCD, set
'RUN' to 'yes' in /etc/default/npcd.
"broker_module=/usr/lib/pnp4nagios/npcdmod.o config_file=/etc/pnp4nagios/npcd.cfg"
-Finally reload your Nagios server by running "/etc/init.d/nagios3 reload". All
+Finally reload your Nagios server by running "service nagios3 reload". All
+performance data should be processed now.
+
+Using bulk mode for Icinga
+---------------------------
+
+We recommend to use bulk mode with NPCD and npcdmod. This will facilitate an
+easy installation and fast processing of performance data. To enable NPCD, set
+'RUN' to 'yes' in /etc/default/npcd.
+
+In order to enable processing of performance data in Icinga, please change the
+"process_performance_data" statement in "/etc/icinga/icinga.cfg" to
+"process_performance_data=1".
+
+To register the NPC event broker module (npcdmod), copy the file
+"/usr/share/doc/pnp4nagios-web-config-icinga/examples/npcdmod.cfg" to
+"/etc/icinga/modules"
+
+Finally reload your Icinga server by running "service icinga reload". All
performance data should be processed now.
+
+Add links for PNP4Nagios to Nagios / Icinga Webfrontend
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
If you want links to PNP4Nagios for your monitored hosts and services in the
Nagios web frontend just add
<http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/config>.

+
+Using Gearman mode
+------------------
+
+Starting with version 0.6.12, PNP4Nagios may operate as a Gearman worker. This
+is useful in large, distributed setups using Nagios's mod_gearman. To use
+the PNP Gearman worker, you'll need a running mod_gearman environment. See
+<http://labs.consol.de/lang/en/nagios/mod-gearman/> for detailed setup
+instructions.
+
+In addition, the following configuration is required to get you started:
+
+- Enable processing of performance data in Nagios: set
+ 'process_performance_data=1' in "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg" or
+ "/etc/icinga/icinga.cfg" and reload your monitoring system:
+ "service nagios3 reload" / "service icinga reload".
+
+- Enable the PNP Gearman worker daemon by setting 'RUN' to 'yes' in
+ /etc/default/pnp_gearman_worker. Check the Gearman related options in
+ "/etc/pnp4nagios/process_perfdata.cfg" (GEARMAN_HOST and encryption
+ settings) and start the Gearman worker: /etc/init.d/pnp_gearman_worker start
+
+- Enable distribution of performance data in mod_gearman by setting the
+ 'perfdata=yes' option.
+
+When operating in Gearman mode, process_perfdata.pl requires the
+Gearman::Worker, MIME::Base64, and Crypt::Rijndael Perl modules. These are
+available in the libgearman-client-perl, perl, and libcrypt-rijndael-perl
+Debian packages (see packages suggested by pnp4nagios-bin).
