1 | title: New Project Name: Monitoring Plugins | ||
2 | author: Holger Weiß | ||

6 | In the past, the domain `nagios-plugins.org` pointed to a server independently | ||
7 | maintained by us, the Nagios Plugins Development Team. Today, the DNS records | ||
8 | were modified to point to web space controlled by Nagios Enterprises instead. | ||
9 | This change was done without prior notice. | ||
10 | |||
11 | This means the project can no longer use the name "Nagios Plugins". We, the | ||
12 | Nagios Plugins Development Team, therefore renamed the Nagios Plugins to | ||
13 | *Monitoring Plugins*. | ||
14 | <end-of-teaser> | ||
15 | |||
16 | We're not too happy having to make this move. Renaming the project will lead | ||
17 | to some confusion, and to quite a bit of work for others and for ourselves. | ||
18 | We would've preferred to save everyone this trouble. | ||
19 | |||
20 | However, we *do* like how the new name indicates that our plugins are also | ||
21 | used with various other monitoring applications these days. While the Nagios | ||
22 | folks created the original implementation of the core plugins bundle, an | ||
23 | independent team has taken over development more than a decade ago, and the | ||
24 | product is intended to be useful for *all* users, including, but not limited | ||
25 | to, the customers of Nagios Enterprises. | ||
26 | |||
27 | It'll probably take us a few days to sort out various issues caused by the new | ||
28 | project name, but we're confident that we can resume our development work | ||
29 | towards the next stable releases very soon. | ||
30 | |||
31 | We'd like to take the chance to thank you, our community, for your countless | ||
32 | contributions, which made the plugins what they are today. You guys are | ||
33 | awesome. We're looking forward to the next chapter of Monitoring Plugins | ||
34 | development, and we hope you are, too! | ||
