Software Repositories

The Nagios Plugins Development Team takes care of three projects:

• Nagios Plugins — the core bundle of standard plugins.
• Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin — a module used by plugins written in Perl.
• NagiosMIB — SNMP MIB files for traps sent from Nagios.

These projects are maintained in separate repositories on GitHub:

• https://github.com/nagios-plugins/repositories

Contributions are always welcome! If you’d like to provide patches, please fork the desired repository and submit a pull request.
