2015-10-08doc/developer-guidelines.sgml: Add missing tagHolger Weiss1-1/+1
2015-10-04use exit code 3 for version and helpSven Nierlein1-2/+7
Plugins which use OK state for help or version information may run unnoticed in that modes without doing any check. So its good style to let version and help exit with Unknown state. Signed-off-by: Sven Nierlein <sven@nierlein.de>
2014-01-19Project rename initial commit.Monitoring Plugins Development Team1-26/+26
This is an initial take at renaming the project to Monitoring Plugins. It's not expected to be fully complete, and it is expected to break things (The perl module for instance). More testing will be required before this goes mainline.
2013-10-28developer-guidelines.sgml: Fix URLHolger Weiss1-1/+1
Fix the Test::Simple tutorial URL.
2013-10-28developer-guidelines.sgml: Remove Tinderbox linkHolger Weiss1-5/+0
We don't run a Tinderbox instance anymore. (Noted by "zathras" on IRC.)
2013-09-25developer-guidelines.sgml: Normalize spellingHolger Weiss1-10/+10
- Write "plugin" instead of "plug-in". - Write "development guidelines" instead of "developer guidelines" - Capitalize "Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines".
2013-08-27developer-guidelines.sgml: Update copyright yearHolger Weiss1-3/+3
We touched the Development Guidelines this year.
2013-08-22developer-guidelines.sgml: Multiline outputHolger Weiss1-8/+20
Document the multiline output format properly. Thanks to Jochen Bern for providing this patch.
2013-08-21developer-guidelines.sgml: Allow special value "U"Holger Weiss1-1/+2
Allow a literal "U" to be specified in place of an actual value within the performance data string. An "U" corresponds to RRDtool's "UNKNOWN" value; i.e., it's meant to indicate that data acquisition failed for some reason. PNP4Nagios already supports this extension.
2013-08-21removed duplicate entrySven Nierlein1-4/+0
2012-12-03Table 4 example 5 updatedpalli1-1/+1
Description did not specify that it condition is critical if "stuff" is less than zero.
2012-12-03Description for table4 example7palli1-2/+2
My original patch was based on the online version which was apparently out of date. In the meantime someone changed the description of example7 instead of the example. I think this is better because otherwise example 6 and 7 are basically the same.
2012-12-03Bugfix, fixed a broken command-line examplePall Sigurdsson1-2/+2
The last example in the table contradicted the previous example. Surely it's purpose was to showcase the @ behaviour to invert threshold, but the @ sign was missing. I also clarified the description to the second last example so it is in same style as the others.
2010-03-15Corrected exampleTon Voon1-1/+1
2009-11-18Update developer guideline regarding CVS CommitsThomas Guyot-Sionnest1-2/+2
(mostly for testing my snapshot script, though it had to be updated anyway)

2009-07-17Updated links for exchange.nagios.orgTon Voon1-2/+2
2009-05-19Talk about Git instead of CVSHolger Weiss1-13/+13
Update the Developer Guidelines to reflect the fact that our development is done using Git instead of CVS these days (as noted by Chris Pepper on the "nagiosplug-devel" list). While at it, apply another few minor cleanups. Signed-off-by: Holger Weiss <holger@zedat.fu-berlin.de>
2009-05-19Remove comments regarding former requirementsHolger Weiss1-8/+0
Don't explain why Libtool and Gettext are no longer needed. Libtool actually is a requirement, as (at least) the M4 macros provided by Libtool are needed for our Autotools setup. And the fact that Gettext is no longer needed probably isn't that interesting for new developers. Signed-off-by: Holger Weiss <holger@zedat.fu-berlin.de>
