4 This directory contains plugins which have been contributed by various people, but that
5 have not yet been incorporated into the core plugins distribution.
7 Most Perl plugins should work without modification. Some of the C plugins may require
8 a few tweaks to compile.
10 If you have questions regarding the use of these plugins, try contacting the author(s)
11 or post a message to the nagiosplug-help mailing list (nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net)
12 requesting assistance.
19 In addition to the plugins located in this directory, there are some additional tarballs
20 containing plugins in the tarballs/ subdirectory. They have not yet been organized.
21 A brief description of their contents follows.
24 berger-ping.tar.gz - Perl script version of the check_ping plugin and a corresponding
25 CGI (mtr.cgi) that uses mtr to traceroute a path to a host.
28 bowen-langley_plugins.tar.gz

33 check_bgp-1.0.tar.gz - Perl script intended for monitoring BGP sessions on Cisco routers.
34 Uses Net::Telnet to telnet into a cisco router and
37 check_memory.tgz - C plugin to check available system memory
39 check_radius.tar.gz - C program to check RADIUS authentication. This is a hacked version of
40 the Cistron Radiusd program radtest that acts as a plugin for Nagios.
41 The vast majority of the code was written by someone at Livingston
42 Enterprises and Cistron. NOTE: Due to the copyright restrictions in
43 this code, it cannot be distributed under the GPL license, and thus
44 will not appear in the core plugin distribution!
47 radius.tar.gz - Code modifications necessary to make the radexample app
48 supplied with the radiusclient code work as a RADIUS plugin
49 for Nagios (Nick Shore)
51 fetchlog-0.94.tar.gz - C program: The fetchlog utility displays the last new messages of a
52 logfile. It is similar like tail(1) but offers some extra functionality
53 for output formatting. fetchlog can be used standalone or as a Nagios
54 plugin to monitor local logfiles or together with Net-SNMP to monitor
55 remote logfiles. The README shows how to setup fetchlog for Nagios.
