nagios-plugins (Plugins for the Nagios network monitoring server)
|
|
|
|
Unlike many other monitoring tools, Nagios does not include any
|
|
internal mechanisms for checking the status of hosts and services on
|
|
your network. Instead, Nagios relies on external programs (called
|
|
plugins) to do all the dirty work. Plugins are compiled executables or
|
|
scripts (Perl scripts, shell scripts, etc.) that can be run from a
|
|
command line to check the status or a host or service.
|
|
|
|
Remember to install the Nagios::Plugin perl module and its
|
|
dependencies to ensure all functionality of perl plugins.
|
|
|
|
Remember to install the applications you plan to use plugins with
|
|
before installation of nagios-plugins as some plugins are compiled
|
|
using the relevant libraries installed on your system for the
|
|
application being probed.
