Just tried the Apache agent on Ubuntu 16.04 and got following error:
root@librenms:/opt/librenms-agent# /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/apache
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (you may need to install the LWP::Simple module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .) at /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/apache line 14.
Solution was to apt-get install libwww-perl. Also added verification step.
* updated nicecase function for ntp server and client app
* ntp applications refactoring
* removed agent for ntp-server: reported as not working
* removed ntpd from agent polling. thx @murrant
This is to make the document easier to find. No one sets out with a goal to set up an agent (unless they are told to). They want to monitor an application. Coming to this doc will give them a list of applications they can monitor and ways they can collect the data from the application. (Direct, SNMP Extend, or Agent)
There needs to be a lot of expansion here, but this is a start. I'd like to see most applications support 2-3 ways of collecting data.
