monitoringtoolbox / nagios-plugins

A selection of Nagios plugins creating using our templates.

Background

Wolf Software has been engaged in providing system, network, and security monitoring solutions from the very outset. Our expertise encompasses a wide range of monitoring solutions, including fundamental ones such as Munin and Nagios, as well as sophisticated enterprise-grade solutions like New Relic, Datadog, and AppDynamics. We also possess experience in creating customized monitoring solutions in-house, tailored to specific client requirements.

Overview

It is a common occurrence for companies to express the need for ready-made enterprise-grade monitoring solutions, asserting that solutions like Nagios are becoming obsolete due to the significant investment of time and resources required to make it operational, resulting in similar costs as those incurred with off-the-shelf solutions.

The goal of this project, as well as other initiatives within The Monitoring Toolbox, is to demonstrate the ease with which plugins can be developed for tools like Nagios and Munin, thereby enhancing their capabilities to a level that is more comparable to the more costly off-the-shelf alternatives.

The Plugins

We have developed a collection of plugins using the templates we created, and we plan to keep expanding this collection with additional plugins in the future.
