Class library for writing Nagios/Icinga plugins

Project description

nagiosplugin

Features

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

  • Timeout handling

  • Default options

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