Install Dell Open manage Plugin for nagios core with Icinga2?

Has anyone successfully installed the Dell open Manage plugin for Nagios core on an icinga2 installation?

What is the Nagios core install location for an installation of icinga2 on CentOS7?

I can't proceed past asking for the install location of Nagios core. Giving an invalid install location exits the install process

Plugin URL: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/Dell/Dell-EMC-OpenManage-Plug-2Din-for-Nagios-Core/details When I begin installing the plugin it asks for the location of the Nagios core install. Since icing is based on Nagios, would this be possible?

We faced the same sort of issues, also after analysing other options we concluded this software is an overhead, so we opted for the dell manager command provided by dell itself. So if your only purpose for installing this just to monitor Dell server hardware.

You may use omreport and snmp checks which give us metrics relating to amperage, battery, esm logs, fans, hard disk, fan, overall health , memory power supply, firmware, sdcard, storage , temperature, voltage etc. The advantage of these plugins are they do not load the dell node which needs to be monitored as they are executed from icinga satellite node( Any central remote node which is external).

There is a perl plugin here https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/Dell/check_openmanage/details

and this is another plugin which works on snmp OIDs https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/Dell/Check-the-status-of-DELL-PowerEdge-server/details .
