Plugin for monitoring version of the Nagios server itself

Post by npa »

Is there any way to check if Nagios server is the most recent version other than visiting the home page of the web interface?
I would like to set up monitoring for this condition. It's not difficult to put together a simple bash script to parse "https://www.nagios.org/checkforupdates/ ... nagioscore" page and compare versions. But I would prefer to use some built-in method if there is one. Googling didn't yield anything.

Hello npa, there's nothing like that built in to Core and I don't see anything on the exchange. You would need to write a script to perform this check automatically.
