[Nagiosplug-devel] Nagios check_ups plugin and Network UPS Tools 2.0 API

[arnaud.quette at mgeups.com]

[second post as my 1rst was blocked with -devel subscription]

Hi guys,

I'm the 2nd core developer/coordinator of the NUT - Network UPS
Tools [1], which is the major opensource project for UPS support.

I'm thinking for some time to contact you about the check_ups plugin.
This one is tied to the old NUT API, which as been dropped when
switching from 1.4 to 2.0 version of NUT. There was a post on -devel
some time ago about that [2].

Thus, the current plugin can only work with 1.4 NUT servers.

I'm so currently working on updating the plugin, and completing
some info (such as cfg file and REQUIREMENTS). If anybody
is already on this, please contact me...

When I'm done, I can either submit a patch on sf, or you can
add me to the team (uzuul is my sf account).

Lastly, the thing which bootstrap'ed me on that subject is that a
case is under preparation for Linux Mag France about Nagios,
and I will make a part about Nagios and NUT...

See you soon,
Arnaud
