Plugin for monitoring version of the Nagios server itself

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.
