Some of the C plugins may require +a few tweaks to compile. + +If you have questions regarding the use of these plugins, try contacting the author(s) +or post a message to the nagiosplug-help mailing list (nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net) +requesting assistance. + + + +Contrib Tarballs +---------------- + +In addition to the plugins located in this directory, there are some additional tarballs +containing plugins in the tarballs/ subdirectory. They have not yet been organized. +A brief description of their contents follows. + + +berger-ping.tar.gz - Perl script version of the check_ping plugin and a corresponding + CGI (mtr.cgi) that uses mtr to traceroute a path to a host. + (Gary Berger) + +bowen-langley_plugins.tar.gz + - Several C plugins including check_inode, check_boot, etc. + (Adam Bown & Thomas Langley) + + +check_bgp-1.0.tar.gz - Perl script intended for monitoring BGP sessions on Cisco routers. + Uses Net::Telnet to telnet into a cisco router and + run "sh ip bgp" + +check_memory.tgz - C plugin to check available system memory + +check_radius.tar.gz - C program to check RADIUS authentication. This is a hacked version of + the Cistron Radiusd program radtest that acts as a plugin for Nagios. + The vast majority of the code was written by someone at Livingston + Enterprises and Cistron. NOTE: Due to the copyright restrictions in + this code, it cannot be distributed under the GPL license, and thus + will not appear in the core plugin distribution! + (Adam Jacob) + +hopcroft-plugins.tar.gz - Various example plugin scripts contributed by Stanley Hopcroft. + Includes a plugin to check Internet connectivity by checking various + popular search engines, a plugin to check the availability of login + to a TN/3270 mainframe database using Expect to search for "usual" + screens, and another plugin to test the availability of a database + search via the web. + (Stanley Hopcroft) + +radius.tar.gz - Code modifications necessary to make the radexample app + supplied with the radiusclient code work as a RADIUS plugin + for Nagios (Nick Shore) + +fetchlog-0.94.tar.gz - C program: The fetchlog utility displays the last new messages of a + logfile. It is similar like tail(1) but offers some extra functionality + for output formatting. fetchlog can be used standalone or as a Nagios + plugin to monitor local logfiles or together with Net-SNMP to monitor + remote logfiles. The README shows how to setup fetchlog for Nagios. + (Alexander Haderer) + +check_cit.tgz -Perl plugins to monitor Citrix server + |
