Today, the DNS records +were modified to point to web space controlled by Nagios Enterprises instead. +This change was done without prior notice. + +This means the project can no longer use the name "Nagios Plugins". We, the +Nagios Plugins Development Team, therefore renamed the Nagios Plugins to +*Monitoring Plugins*. + + +We're not too happy having to make this move. Renaming the project will lead +to some confusion, and to quite a bit of work for others and for ourselves. +We would've preferred to save everyone this trouble. + +However, we *do* like how the new name indicates that our plugins are also +used with various other monitoring applications these days. While the Nagios +folks created the original implementation of the core plugins bundle, an +independent team has taken over development more than a decade ago, and the +product is intended to be useful for *all* users, including, but not limited +to, the customers of Nagios Enterprises. + +It'll probably take us a few days to sort out various issues caused by the new +project name, but we're confident that we can resume our development work +towards the next stable releases very soon. + +We'd like to take the chance to thank you, our community, for your countless +contributions, which made the plugins what they are today.
