+Monitoring temperature with Nagios
+----------------------------------
+
+Files:
+ - nagios.txt
+ - cleware_nagios_script
+
+1. copy cleware_nagios_script to the libexec directory of nagios
+
+2. add the following to the nagios configuration file
+ (checkcommands.cfg):
+
+ define command{
+ command_name check_cleware_temperature
+ command_line $USER1$/cleware_nagios_script $ARG1$ $ARG2$
+ }
+
+3. now define a check:
+
+ define service {
+ use generic-service
+ is_volatile 0
+ check_period 24x7
+ max_check_attempts 3
+ normal_check_interval 5
+ retry_check_interval 1
+ contact_groups CONTACTGROUP
+ notification_interval 240
+ notification_period 24x7
+ notification_options c,r
+ host_name HOSTNAME
+ service_description check temperature using Cleware sensor
+ check_command check_cleware_temperature!WARN!CRIT
+ }
+
+4. of course you need to replace 'CONTACTGROUP' and 'HOSTNAME' with
+ the appropriate settings. also 'WARN' and 'CRIT' must be
+ replaced with the warning and critical temperatures
+
