1title: New Project Name: Monitoring Plugins
2author: Holger Weiß
3date: 2014-01-15

6In the past, the domain `nagios-plugins.org` pointed to a server independently
7maintained by us, the Nagios Plugins Development Team. Today, the DNS records
8were modified to point to web space controlled by Nagios Enterprises instead.
9This change was done without prior notice.
10
11This means the project can no longer use the name "Nagios Plugins". We, the
12Nagios Plugins Development Team, therefore renamed the Nagios Plugins to
13*Monitoring Plugins*.
14<end-of-teaser>
15
16We're not too happy having to make this move. Renaming the project will lead
17to some confusion, and to quite a bit of work for others and for ourselves.
18We would've preferred to save everyone this trouble.
19
20However, we *do* like how the new name indicates that our plugins are also
21used with various other monitoring applications these days. While the Nagios
22folks created the original implementation of the core plugins bundle, an
23independent team has taken over development more than a decade ago, and the
24product is intended to be useful for *all* users, including, but not limited
25to, the customers of Nagios Enterprises.
26
27It'll probably take us a few days to sort out various issues caused by the new
28project name, but we're confident that we can resume our development work
29towards the next stable releases very soon.
30
31We'd like to take the chance to thank you, our community, for your countless
32contributions, which made the plugins what they are today. You guys are
33awesome. We're looking forward to the next chapter of Monitoring Plugins
34development, and we hope you are, too!
