Please note that this plugin isn't maintained any longer as I don't use oVirt/RHV anymore.
This plugin for Icinga/Nagios is used to monitor a variety of an RHEV or oVirt environement including datacenters, clusters, hosts, vms, vm pools and storage domains.

The check_rhv installation can be used by following the standard autotools installation process, documented in the INSTALL file. As a quick start you can do
NOTE: Deploy the dependencies below for the system version you have here, first For RHEL 7/8 or Fedora 35 run in this order (cwd is the check_rhv repo path) $ /usr/bin/aclocal $ automake --add-missing $ autoconf $ ./configure $ make all $ sudo make install
For other systems, use the standard method of deploying $ ./configure $ make all
This will install check_rhv to /usr/local/nagios/libexec and the PNP template to /usr/local/pnp4nagios/share/templates.
To change these paths use the following options:
--prefix=
If you don't use PNP you can disable installing the PNP template with: --disable-pnp-template
To change the user and group ownership of these files use:
--with-nagios-user=
For example if you use Icinga and do not use PNP, you can use the following commands to configure your install for that: $ ./configure --with-nagios-user=icinga --with-nagios-group=icinga --disable-pnp-template --prefix=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
General Options:
Nagios user: icinga
Nagios group: icinga
Plugins directory: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
PNP directory: /usr/local/pnp4nagios/share
Install PNP template: noReview the options above for accuray. If they look okay, type 'make all' to compile.
