Plugins allow you to monitor virtually anything with Nagios – databases, operating systems, applications, network devices, protocols, and more!
The official Nagios Plugins package includes dozens of plugins that let you start monitoring essential infrastructure components right away. Plugins are executable tools that perform specific checks such as websites, Linux and Windows servers, network devices, services, and system metrics like CPU usage, load, and disk usage.
But the monitoring capabilities aren’t limited to what’s offered by the official plugins. The global Nagios Community has developed over 4,000 plugins, allowing you to extend your monitoring capabilities to nearly any technology in your environment.
