About:
Monitoring Plugins is a suite of plugins designed for Nagios, Icinga, and other compatible monitoring systems. It provides a comprehensive set of standard checks to monitor hosts and services, including network protocols, system resources, and server availability. This package enables system administrators to quickly deploy robust monitoring capabilities without writing custom scripts.

Key Features:

Comprehensive suite of standard plugins (check_http, check_disk, check_load, etc.)
Broad compatibility with Nagios, Icinga, Naemon, and Shinken
Supports monitoring via SNMP, HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and other protocols
Portable C codebase ensuring stability and performance

Use Cases:

Monitoring server health metrics like CPU load, disk usage, and memory
Verifying network service availability and response times
Auditing SSL certificate expiration dates
Checking remote resources via HTTP/HTTPS endpoints

Alternatives:

Icinga Plugins – Icinga includes its own plugin set but maintains compatibility with the standard Monitoring Plugins.
Prometheus Blackbox Exporter – Prometheus requires a pull-based model with exporters, whereas Monitoring Plugins are push-based or actively executed by the scheduler.
