Check Linux OS version is outdated

Post by MaterazziSan »

Hi,

Do you use some plugin for checking if your GNU/Linux OS version is not updated?
Do you create your own custom script?

Thank you!

Best regards

Hi @MaterazziSan,

Some users do create their own custom scripts. Here are the Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines, if you are interested.

Plugins created by other users can be found at the Nagios Exchange or Github.

For example, this plugin plugin checks for EOL.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
