SNMP4Nagios is a package of Nagios plugins which use SNMP to query hosts. While some of the plugins use standard MIBs, most are designed for vendor specific agents.

Unlike other Nagios plugins, they are able to scan hosts for objects which can be monitored. They also can keep performance logs and draw plots of these using Tobias Oetiker's RRDTool.

Currently devices by Brocade, Cisco, Compaq/HP and Network Appliance as well as computers running Microsoft Windows or Net-SNMP and uninterruptable power supplies are supported.

For a complete list of plugins see Features.

Help Needed!

The plugins work quite well in the environments they were developed for. If they don't work for you, please check the TODO and the mailing list archive if the issue is already known. Otherwise please send a mail to list so the author learns that there is something wrong.
