Livestatus is a tool to access the host and service status of your Nagios server (https://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_livestatus.html) Get mk-livestatus from https://mathias-kettner.de/download/mk-livestatus-1.2.8p18.tar.gz # cd /tmp # tar xzf mk-livestatus-1.2.8p18.tar.gz # cd mk-livestatus-1.2.8p18 # ./configure --with-nagios4 # make # make install If you are using the Nagios XI VM based on Cent OS 6 the "make" command will fail: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -DNAGIOS4 -std=c++11 -fPIC -g -O2 -MT livestatus_so-AndingFilter.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/livestatus_so-AndingFilter.Tpo -c -o livestatus_so-AndingFilter.o `test -f 'AndingFilter.cc' || echo './'`AndingFilter.cc cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=c++11" The compiler does not support "-std=c++11", at least gcc 4.7 is required https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11 The solution is to install a newer compiler in a another directory. The scl command is necessary to use the devtoolset-2-binutils, else gcc 4.8 will not work. # cd /etc/yum.repos.d # wget https://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-2/devtools-2.repo # yum --enablerepo=testing-devtools-2-centos-6 install devtoolset-2-gcc devtoolset-2-gcc-c++ devtoolset-2-binutils # export CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/gcc # export CPP=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/cpp # export CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/c++ # scl enable devtoolset-2 bash # cd /tmp/mk-livestatus-1.2.8p18 # make # make install Back to the configuration # vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg broker_module=/usr/local/lib/mk-livestatus/livestatus.o /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/subsys/livestatus # nagios restart Verify the livestatus broker is working: # echo "GET status" | /usr/local/bin/unixcat /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/subsys/livestatus It is also possible to make livestatus available using a TCP socket using xinetd: service livestatus { type = UNLISTED port = 6557 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no # limit to 100 connections per second.

hi ive just install the plugin on my Nagios core 4.4.3. and it dosnt work. i get "no unix socket" error. i assume the path in "broker_module=/usr/local/lib/mk-livestatus/livestatus.o /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/subsys/livestatus" is incorrect becouse im not using nagiosxi and i dont have folder nagios/var/subsystem/. who can i proceed from here?
Hi, I have a problem when I try to install it in my server.
