Plugin Tool now available
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 9:49 pm
Hello fellow Nagios XI users. I have created a Plugin Tool [in the form of a Configuration Wizard] that is available for download from the Nagios Exchange.
This Wizard allows you to test Plugins and Commands.
When you upload a plugin to your Nagios XI server you will usually want to test it first. This involves establishing an SSH session to the Nagios XI server and then typing some command line (cli) stuff.
The purpose of this wizard is to save you the hassle of doing this in the cli, you can do it all from this GUI.
This wizard is more like a Tool so it doesn't do any "configuring", it won't make any changes to your Nagios XI host.
Version Notes
2011-05-04
Initial release, tested on Nagios XI 2011R1.1 and 2009R1.4B.
2011-05-06
Added a Characters section to the Overview and updated the regex used to validate allowed characters.
Any questions / suggestions / requests are always welcome.
