In the Nagios for beginners it says "the procedure to install the plugins is similar to that of core program. Refer to appendix C for the documentation associated with the plugins."  Where is the help file never mind appendix C.

I'd have to check into the reference in the nagios docs.

To see what plugins you have and where, I suggest you read the man page
for rpm.

	rpm -ql nagios-plugins

should do the trick.

As for plugin documentation, run the plugin of interest with --help as
an option. The authoritative docs come internal to each plugin.

There is a FAQ and a few other docs, and there will be additional docs
(derived from the embedded sources) in the future. But that's it for
now.
