Nagios plugins in web interface?

[nortonhealthcare]

This may be a silly question, but I'm wondering if a Nagios plugin I download and can run from the command line can be set up as a monitor that can be viewed through the web interface of Nagios XI? For instance, I have a plugin named "check_cisco_fru_module.pl" and would like to run it against various devices on a regular interval, and have it show up in the Birdseye view if something hits an alarm threshold. Is this possible?

Most of those dashboards don't actually have a concept of "plugins". They just interpret Nagios check statuses.

So yes, if you can configure it as a Nagios check it should integrate seamlessly with most UI components. Here's documentation on using custom plugins for Nagios XI checks to get you started:
