Nagios - my custom plugins and addons

Intro


I have been working closely with Nagios for more than 3 years. My experience covers both Nagios Core, Nagios XI and Nagios Fusion. I participated and led 2 different projects related to Nagios software deployment. The following sections shares my input into extending Nagios with my custom plugins and addons.

Nagios plugins


One of the greatest benefits of Nagios software is that instead of built-in mechanisms it leverages external plugins for monitoring purpose. Such an architecture makes Nagios scalable and allows Nagios to be easily adjusted based on the requirements. The following are my custom Nagios plugins that are hosted on the Nagios Exchange website. All of them have been grouped based on their purpose, hardware, platform, etc.:
  1. Cisco devices:
  2. Dell PDU (Power Distribution Unit):
  3. APC ATS (Automatic Transform Switch):
  4. Backup solutions:
  5. Asterisk:


Nagios addons

  1. Script for removing Nagios acknowledgements older than N hours, days, weeks and send a report:
