Class library for writing Nagios (Icinga) plugins
Project description
The nagiosplugin library
About
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.
Runs on POSIX and Windows systems.
