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]. + +[team]: team.html "Nagios Plugins Development Team" +[nagios]: http://www.nagios.org/ "Nagios" +[icinga]: https://www.icinga.org/ "Icinga" +[shinken]: http://www.shinken-monitoring.org/ "Shinken" +[history]: http://www.nagios.org/about/history "Nagios (Plugins) History" +[folks]: http://www.nagios.org/about/team "Nagios Team" +[load]: man/check_load.html "check_load" +[procs]: man/check_procs.html "check_procs" +[disk]: man/check_disk.html "check_disk" +[icmp]: man/check_icmp.html "check_icmp" +[snmp]: man/check_snmp.html "check_snmp" +[http]: man/check_http.html "check_http" +[nagex]: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins "Plugins on Nagios Exchange" +[monex]: https://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins "Plugins on Monitoring Exchange" +[module]: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Nagios-Plugin/ "Nagios::Plugin Module" +[guidelines]: doc/guidelines.html "Monitoring Plugin Development Guidelines" +[presentation]: doc/presentation.html "Nagios::Plugin Presentation" +[download]: download.html "Download" + + -- cgit v1.2.3-74-g34f1
