I have a large number of patches to the currently existing plugins and some additional plugins that I would like to see included in future distributions. These include: <ul> <li>A largely rewritten check_tcp.c that allows send expect dialogues to be added to the existing facilities. This now uses a data driven structure for the send-expect-quit sequence and allows multiple handshake conservations with services, giving the ability to check a complete dialogue as valid where required.</li> <li>A perl version of check_dns, which uses the Net::DNS library and supports retrieving records of all mainstream DNS types. It also supports the ability to compare the returned result with an expected result and report a critical failure if they do not match. The matching rules are generous and allow matching on exact strings, prefixes, suffixes, substrings, as well as oneof selection where multiple results are returned. I am working no a structured checking facility that will allow checking of the dns records in much more detail and will try to add any missing record types in the near future - this requires extension to the Net::DNS library as well as some more extensive checking code.</li> <li>A modified check_apc_ups, that has been tidied up at the Perl level and had the SNMP probes converted to the bulkget using the Net::SNMP library within Perl.</li> <li>Minor spelling and functional fixes to (in no particular order) check_ldap.c, check_snmp.c, negate.c, netutils.c, urlize.c, check_breeze.pl, check_ntp.pl, check_wave.pl, check_disk.c, check_http.c, check_linux_raid.pl, check_ups.c, check_nagios_db.pl, check_by_ssh.c, check_dig.c, check_disk_smb.pl, check_flexlm.pl, check_file_age.pl, check_ifoperstatus.pl, check_ifstatus.pl, check_log.sh, check_mrtg.c, check_mrtgtraf.c, check_nt.c, check_nwstat.c, check_oracle_instance.pl, check_overcr.c, check_pgsql.c, check_ping.c, check_procs.c, check_real.c, check_rpc.pl, check_smtp.c, check_swap.c, check_time.c, check_udp.c, check_game.c, check_radius.c.</li> <li>Changes to the configure script to include the contrib directory in the make tree, with Makefiles for the contrib directory to include settings up the bulk of the contrib plugins.</li> <li>Additional plugin for checking whether a nagios environment is 'active', This supports failover/redundancy facilities and has been written to cooperate with extensions being developed for the NagMin environment to support configuration and operation of a distributed redundant monitoring framework.</li> </ul> I also have further plugins in development using SNMP probes into network devices (routers and switches) and host based environments such as Linux SNMP and Windows 200x environments. As I am making a large number of changes, that I would like to see distributed in the main stream, if only to save me time in integrating changes when new releases are made, I think it would make sens to let me have access to the CVS tree. If not I can submit all of these changes as patches as this is how I currently hold them in the RPM environment - applied to the 1.4.0-alpha1 release.
