title: New Project Name: Monitoring Plugins
author: Holger Weiß
date: 2014-01-15
---
In the past, the domain `nagios-plugins.org` pointed to a server independently
maintained by us, the Nagios Plugins Development Team. Today, the DNS records
were modified to point to web space controlled by Nagios Enterprises instead.
This change was done without prior notice.
This means the project can no longer use the name "Nagios Plugins". We, the
Nagios Plugins Development Team, therefore renamed the Nagios Plugins to
*Monitoring Plugins*.
<end-of-teaser>
We're not too happy having to make this move. Renaming the project will lead
to some confusion, and to quite a bit of work for others and for ourselves.
We would've preferred to save everyone this trouble.
However, we *do* like how the new name indicates that our plugins are also
used with various other monitoring applications these days. While the Nagios
folks created the original implementation of the core plugins bundle, an
independent team has taken over development more than a decade ago, and the
product is intended to be useful for *all* users, including, but not limited
to, the customers of Nagios Enterprises.
It'll probably take us a few days to sort out various issues caused by the new
project name, but we're confident that we can resume our development work
towards the next stable releases very soon.
We'd like to take the chance to thank you, our community, for your countless
contributions, which made the plugins what they are today. You guys are
awesome. We're looking forward to the next chapter of Monitoring Plugins
development, and we hope you are, too!
