The Nagios Plugins Team will be at the Open Source Monitoring Conference in Nuremberg next week!

Thomas Guyot-Sionnest, Matthias Eble and Ton Voon will be at the conference.

The Nagios Plugin Development Team are proud to announce the latest Nagios Plugins release.

This is a bug fix release, which includes some important fixes to --extra-opts (a way of specifying command line options within files).

Thanks to all the contributors who raised issues or provided patches.

You can get the download from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/files/

Full list of changes:
* check_http has options to specify the HTTP method (#2155152)
* check_users thresholds were not working exactly as documented (>= rather than >)

A new perl module has been unleashed: Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize.

This will allow you to write a Nagios plugin to monitor your web site in about 20 lines of code. You can login to your site (POSTing your username and password, depending on how the site handles the credentials), navigate through web pages and check for content. The module even handles returning performance data based on the time taken to make all the web calls.

I will be at the Nordic Meet next month. Just for the environment, I'm planning on recycling one of my previous talks: "The Open Source Playground Etiquette". This will probably be updated due to recent developments...

I've also got a workshop planned too, provisionally titled "How to create a web transaction plugin in Perl" (or it might just be "Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize" - I haven't decided yet). You should come away from this will the skills to create a new plugin to monitor your web site, complete with login and content checking.

We've just released version 1.0.1 of NagiosMIB. This provides SNMP MIB files for other network monitoring systems to recognise traps from Nagios.

This release fixes a bug with the definition of NotifyNum for host and service notifications. Thanks to Dirk Fieldhouse for the patch.

Download available at SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=29880&package_id=...

We're looking for any people that want to help with the SNMP MIB project - let us know on the nagiosplug-devel mailing list if you are interested.

This site is now back online. Sorry about the delay. Thanks to all the people who contacted us asking about the state of the site - shows how much it is used!

Thanks to Opsera for providing the new hosted server.

This is the latest release of the Nagios Plugins, the official plugins for the world's most popular monitoring software, Nagios.

The Nagios Plugin Team are pleased to announce the release of Nagios Plugins 1.4.11. This is a bug fix release with several fixes by Holger Weiss and Matthias Eble. There are also two new plugins, check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time, written by Thomas Guyot-Sionnest, which separate out two conflicting purposes for check_ntp.

Also, this is a reminder that the Nagios::Plugin perl module is now distributed with this tarball. You have to run ./configure --enable-perl-modules to include the perl module (and its dependencies).

Thanks to all contributors to this project.

A new release of Nagios::Plugins has been made! This fixes a problem in the new configuration files where a parameter is used more than 2 times. This was spotted and fixed by Thomas Guyot-Sionnest.

You can find the new release on CPAN (may take a few hours to be indexed).
