Class library for writing Nagios (Icinga) plugins

nagiosplugin

Features

nagiosplugin is a class library which helps writing Nagios (or Icinga) compatible plugins easily in Python. It cares for much of the boilerplate code and default logic commonly found in Nagios checks, including:

• Nagios 3 Plugin API compliant parameters and output formatting

• Controller to handle the general plugin control flow

• Full Nagios range syntax support

• Automatic threshold checking

• Multiple independend measures and overall state logic

• Long output and performance data

• Timeout handling

• Default options

• Persistent “cookies” to retain state information between check runs.

Documentation

To get started writing Nagios plugins, see the examples in the examples subdirectory.

More documentation on using this package can be found in the doc directory. There is also an online copy of the docs available.
