Nagios-Plugins is the official plugin distribution for Nagios. It includes over 50 plugins written in C and Perl for most basic monitoring tasks. It is currently maintained mostly by volunteers; the current active developers are: Ton Voon (project lead), Holger Weiss, Matthias Elbe and Thomas Guyot-Sionnest.
In this talk Thomas will look into some noteworthy features added recently in the Nagios-Plugins distribution and show how they can be useful in real-life situations. He will especially emphasize on the extra-opts addition which allows moving plugin parameters to one or more .ini files. In a second part Thomas will introduce the current and upcoming projects for Nagios-Plugins.
