* cp -R nagiosbpi /usr/local/nagios/share
* *cd /usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi
* mkdir /usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/tmp
* chmod o+rx config_functions functions images tmp
* chmod o+rxw tmp
* chmod +x set_bpi_perms.sh
Edit "/usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/constants.conf" as below:
CONFIGFILE= /usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/bpi.conf
CONFIGBACKUP=/usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/tmp/bpi.conf.backup
##optional xml output of BPI group data. USE ABSOLUTE DIRECTORIES FOR ALL FILE LOCATIONS

The link above only provides the version 2 of BPI which is only compatible with Nagios XI. If we can't get a v2 for Core, can we at least get a link to the last version that worked with Nagios Core?
Owner's reply
Looks like that link may have been removed. I don't have access to the packaged zip anymore, but you can checkout the 1.3 version here. http://sourceforge.net/p/nagios/svn/HEAD/tree/nagiosbpi/
zip don't contains tmp dir, set_bpi_perms.sh file, constants.conf file...
I installed nagiosbpi in the past and it worked perfectly. Now it seems that the INSTALL file is outdated. Can not install.

This review is considering the installation and documentation Nagios Core only.
This might be a great Add-On but I have to rate it as very poor because there is no such file set_bpi_perms.sh as mentioned in the INSTALL file.
I consider this really poor. As a work-around, it would have been nice to know what permissions/privileges are needed so one could do it manually.
Right now I'm only guessing (like chown nagios:www-data) and guessing is rarely good when reliably mapping business processes into Nagios.
If I get it running manually I might change the rating.

Is there still any development in this tool?
Easy to install. Easy to configure. Nice overview.
Disable iexplore compatibility mode or use Firefox or Chrome
One drawback I found is that failure of a non essential service causes a critical state for the group if it is the only non essential service. I would prefer if failure of non essential services would cause a warning state.

Field-aligned will be better
