nagiosplugin 0.4

Class library for writing Nagios/Icinga compatible plugins

nagiosplugin is a package which helps writing Nagios/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

• Option parsing

• Timeout handling

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

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

The nagiosplugin package is released under a BSD-style Open Source license (ZPL).
