Extra Plugins are normally stored in the same directory as the (default)
NRPE plugins.
Im not sure where that is in the default install for Debian but in general
the $USER1$ variable will point to the plugins directory. $USER1$ is
normally set in the resource.cfg file in your nagios config directory.
I am being vague because Nagios is very flexible and can be set up in lots
of diffrent ways but hopefuly this helps.

Hi there @ nagios-ML!<br>
<br>
I am new to nagios and I hope that you don't mind me having some basic<br>
questions.<br>
<br>
So, as the topic already says I am running a debian weetzy system and<br>
used apt-get to install nagios on that particular machine. The<br>
installation went, as supposed, fairly smooth and nagios is running on<br>
my local machine. Now, I want to monitor our SAN which is a MSA2312<br>
for which I found that addon:<br>
<a href="http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Storage-Systems/SAN-and-NAS/Check-HP-MSA-%28Modular-Smart-Array%29-sensors/details" \
target="_blank">http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Storage-Systems/SAN-and-NAS/Check-HP-MSA-%28Modular-Smart-Array%29-sensors/details</a><br>
In the Readme file it says, that their should be a directory<br>
/usr/home/nagios/ which isn't there. And now I don't know whether I<br>
have to create the directory or if I should leave the nagios<br>
installation as it is, cause it is running.<br>
