Overview

Nagios® is an open-source network monitoring application. Its value to the datacenter was noted by eWeek, which ranked Nagios as one of the most important open source apps of all time, ranking it with other notable applications such as Mozilla Firefox, MySQL, and OpenSSH. The WebReboot Nagios Plugin is a suite of commands that can be used within Nagios to monitor a server and take corrective action if necessary. For example, the plugin can be used to alert you if a host is powered down, versus simply not responding to network requests. Likewise, it can be used to reboot a server if a host fails to respond to ping or to shutdown a server when a critical temperature threshold is exceeded. The commands can be mixed-and-matched with all existing Nagios commands, maximizing total network coverage.

Servprise is a Nagios partner and is committed to supporting the Nagios project via code and financial contributions. The plugin is freely available as open source software and those interested in accessing the source code should check out the Servprise developer site.
