nagiosplugin 0.4.4

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.
