NAME¶
Nagios::Plugin::Config - read nagios plugin .ini style config files
SYNOPSIS¶
# Read given nagios plugin config file
$Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read( '/etc/nagios/plugins.ini' );
# Search for and read default nagios plugin config file
$Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read();
# Access sections and properties (returns scalars or arrayrefs)
$rootproperty = $Config->{_}->{rootproperty};
$one = $Config->{section}->{one};
$Foo = $Config->{section}->{Foo};
DESCRIPTION¶
Nagios::Plugin::Config is a subclass of the excellent Config::Tiny, with the
following changes:
- •
- Repeated keys are allowed within sections, returning lists
instead of scalars
- •
- Write functionality has been removed i.e. access is read
only
- •
- Nagios::Plugin::Config searches for a default nagios
plugins file if no explicit filename is given to "read()". The
current standard locations checked are:
- /etc/nagios/plugins.ini
- /usr/local/nagios/etc/plugins.ini
- /usr/local/etc/nagios /etc/opt/nagios/plugins.ini
- /etc/nagios-plugins.ini
- /usr/local/etc/nagios-plugins.ini
- /etc/opt/nagios-plugins.ini
To use a custom location, set a "NAGIOS_CONFIG_PATH" environment
variable to the set of directories that should be checked. The first
"plugins.ini" or "nagios-plugins.ini" file found will be
used.
