Private C APIs

Posted by tonvoon on 21 June 2010 - 9:46am

This page describes the Nagios Plugin routines that can be accessed from the internal library.

This page is in development, so these are not guaranteed to be available. As the API matures and is available in libraries, this information will be migrated to the developer guidelines.

Nagios Plugin State Retention Routines

Posted by tonvoon on 16 June 2010 - 2:42pm in

The aim is to create a set of library routines that can be used for saving state information between invocations of a plugin. This way, it is possible to calculate the rate of change and provide threshold calculations on this, rather than just the current state.

This is based on a patch submitted by Alain Williams, Nagios::Plugin::Differences by Jose Luis Martinez and + comments on the mailing list (see references)

Lots of discussion between Holger and I ended up with this.
