[Nagiosplug-devel] Nagios and JAVA plugins

[Massimiliano Ziccardi]

Hi Palli.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I followed your suggestion and implemented the threshold evaluation in both
way.
Now JNRPE plugins can easily support both the 'legacy' and the new
specification format (even together).

Since the new threshold format is very descriptive, the plugin developer do
not need to write any code to support it; gathering the metric is enough:
the evaluation is done by the JNRPE library.

Thank you again,
Massimiliano
