Thanks for the reply, Ton.
I'm not sure that I follow the logic of putting the local plugin in
nrpe_local - as I read the script help for check_nrpe, I've got to put the
script on the target machine, not the Opsview machine. That being the case,
there seems no value in having the plugin on the Opsview machine at all.
Am I missing something?

I've got two instances of opsview running. Both machines have Dell Perc 4i

straight forward and so I set out to make it work.
Unfortunately, it doesn't. When the plugin is placed in
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/nrpe_local with the appropriate config file entry
in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe_local/override.cfg pointing to the script, the
script is never found - it does not show in the plugin dropdown list when
adding a new service check. Note that I have stopped and restarted
opsview-agent as well as nagios (opsview) itself.
So your issue is that the plugin does not get listed in the service check
edit pages in the drop down list?
This is not possible because this is a "local" plugin, so it doesn't make
sense for it to run from the Opsview master. You have to use check_nrpe to
execute it, so it will not show on the Opsview master (if the plugin was,
say, an OS/400 check, there's no way the Opsview master would be able to
represent that).
Your process of putting it in nrpe_local with an appropriate
command[check_megaraid] is the way to go. However, we don't do anything with
regards to distributing this new agent to your remote hosts.
