5# The Nagios Plugins Project
6
7We, the [Nagios Plugins Development Team][team], maintain a bundle of more
8than fifty standard plugins for [Nagios][nagios], [Icinga][icinga],
9[Shinken][shinken], and other monitoring applications that use the
10straightforward plugin interface [originally invented][history] by the [Nagios
11folks][folks]. Each plugin is a stand-alone command line tool that provides a
12specific type of check. Typically, your monitoring software runs these
13plugins to determine the current status of hosts and services on your network.
14
15Some of the provided plugins let you check local system metrics (such as [load
16averages][load], [processes][procs], or [disk space usage][disk]), others use
17various network protocols (such as [ICMP][icmp], [SNMP][snmp], or
18[HTTP][http]) to perform remote checks. This allows for checking a large
19number of common host and service types. For more specific needs, thousands
20of community-contributed plugins can be found on sites such as [Nagios
21Exchange][nagex] or [Monitoring Exchange][monex].
22
23In addition to the core plugins bundle, we maintain a [Perl module][module]
24that makes it [easy][presentation] to write your own plugin. We also take
25care of an SNMP MIB used for traps sent from Nagios, and of the [Nagios Plugin
26Development Guidelines][guidelines].

28You can get the latest releases from the [download page][download].
