PNP4Nagios for Debian
---------------------

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 Nagios, please change the
"process_performance_data" statement in "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg" to
"process_performance_data=1".

To register the NPC event broker module (npcdmod), add the following line
(without quotes) to "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg":

"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
performance data should be processed now.

If you want links to PNP4Nagios for your monitored hosts and services in the
Nagios web frontend just add

- "action_url  /pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$"
  to your hosts or host template(s)

- "action_url  /pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$"
  to your services or service template(s)

For more information and different modes of operation, see
<http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/config>.
