Example:ln -s /usr/bin/check_azure_compute.py /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
ln -s /usr/bin/check_azure_ad.py /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
ln -s /usr/bin/check_azure_sql.py /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
ln -s /usr/bin/check_azure_storage.py /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
ln -s /usr/bin/check_azure_paas.py /usr/lib64/nagios/pluginsDownload your .publishsettings file for your Azure account. Something like:https://windows.azure.com/download/publishprofile.aspxMove your .publishsetttings file to a safe place and protect it. Example:mv azure.publishsettings /etc/nagios/private
chmod 640 /etc/nagios/private/azure.publishsettings
chown root:nagios /etc/nagios/private/azure.publishsettingsHere only root and the nagios group, which nagios runs under, is allowed to
read the fileOptionally set a variable in your resource.cfg (usually /etc/nagios/private/resource.cfg)
To point to your publishsettings fileSetup a command in a config file as usual for nagios:define command{
        command_name    check_azure_compute
        command_line    $USER1$/check_azure_compute.py $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $PSFILE$
}
define command{
        command_name    check_azure_sql
        command_line    $USER1$/check_azure_sql.py $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

define command{
        command_name    check_azure_ad
        command_line    $USER1$/check_azure_ad.py $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

define command{
        command_name    check_azure_paas
        command_line    $USER1$/check_azure_paas.py $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

define command{
        command_name    check_azure_storage
        command_line    $USER1$/check_azure_storage.py $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}In the service file setup appropriate parameters. Examples:check_command       check_azure_sql!-d azuredb -u username -p pwd  -k dbsize -vv!
check_command       check_azure_ad!-c clientid -s secret -k listusers -vv!
check_command       check_azure_paas!-p psfile -s storageact -k availmemory -w 3000: -c 2000: -vv!
check_command       check_azure_storage!-p psfile --table --tx  -k percentsuccess -w 99: -c 95:!ZabbixUse these utilities as an external check:https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/1.8/manual/config/items#external_checksYou may need to increase the timeout for external check in yor zabbix_server.conf:Timeout=10Also in zabbix_server.conf, uncomment the ExternalScripts location, if commented:ExternalScripts=/etc/zabbix/externalscriptsLink the utilities to that location. Example:ln -s /usr/bin/check_azure_compute.py /etc/zabbix/externalscriptsDownload your .publishsettings file for your Azure account. Something like:https://windows.azure.com/download/publishprofile.aspxMove you .publishsetttings file to a safe place and protect it. Example:mv azure.publishsettings /etc/zabbix
chmod 640 /etc/zabbix/azure.publishsettings
chown root:zabbix /etc/zabbix/azure.publishsettingsHere only root and the zabbix group, which zabbix runs under, is allowed to
read the fileUse the zabbix interface to setup the external check. Example:Item
