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.
