+# The Nagios Plugins Project
+
+We, the [Nagios Plugins Development Team][team], maintain a bundle of more
+than fifty standard plugins for [Nagios][nagios], [Icinga][icinga],
+[Shinken][shinken], and other monitoring applications that use the
+straightforward plugin interface [originally invented][history] by the [Nagios
+folks][folks].  Each plugin is a stand-alone command line tool that provides a
+specific type of check.  Typically, your monitoring software runs these
+plugins to determine the current status of hosts and services on your network.
+
+Some of the provided plugins let you check local system metrics (such as [load
+averages][load], [processes][procs], or [disk space usage][disk]), others use
+various network protocols (such as [ICMP][icmp], [SNMP][snmp], or
+[HTTP][http]) to perform remote checks.  This allows for checking a large
+number of common host and service types.  For more specific needs, thousands
+of community-contributed plugins can be found on sites such as [Nagios
+Exchange][nagex] or [Monitoring Exchange][monex].
+
+In addition to the core plugins bundle, we maintain a [Perl module][module]
+that makes it [easy][presentation] to write your own plugin.  We also take
+care of an SNMP MIB used for traps sent from Nagios, and of the [Nagios Plugin
+Development Guidelines][guidelines].
+
+You can get the latest releases from the [download page][download].
