About Nagios Exchange

Nagios Exchange is a central place for Nagios Community members and contributors to find a share Nagios projects of all kinds – plugins, addons, documentation, extensions and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simple. There was no official Nagios site that provided similar functionality. For many years I listed community-contributed addons directly on the Nagios downloads page. I decided that Nagios Enterprises needs to provide the Nagios Community with an awesome official site for Nagios projects. So here we are!

There are hundreds of addons and plugins for Nagios – try a Google search to find the what you’re looking for. When you find it, create an account here and post it on this site for others in the future. You’ll generate good karma and feel great to boot!

Thanks for helping out! Here’s how you upload:

  • Register for an account on this site
  • Login to your account
  • Browse to the directory where your plugin/addon should go
  • Click the “List your plugin or addon here!” link
  • Fill out the fields, attach any necessary files, and voila – in the system
  • Your plugin in or addon will appear in the directory once we review and approve it

First off, kudos to you for being awesome and contributing to the success of Nagios! In order to claim a project as your own, you’ll need to do the following:

  • Register for an account on this site
  • Login to your account
  • Find the plugin or addon that’s yours
  • Click the “Claim” button next to the project to claim it as your own

Once we verify your claim of ownership you’ll be able to manage your project from here on out. Keep the information updated and the Nagios Community will thank you for your great efforts!

Not a problem. We review submissions when they come in, so we can place your listing in the appropriate categories. Most categories have an “Others” category where you can post miscellaneous projects if you’re not sure. We’ll look at these uncategorized listings on a regular basis and move them into their proper categories.

Add the project to the most relevant category. Once you add a listing, you have the option of having it listed in multiple categories. For example, a Linux plugin to check system load could go into “Linux” and “CPU Usage and Load” categories.

We’re working on that and will hopefully have the file size limit increased soon. If you need to host larger files on our site, email us at exchange at nagios.org and we’ll get you set up.

Nagios Enterprises built the bulk of the site infrastructure and is responsible for its maintenance. We can’t take all the credit though. First and foremost, it’s the Nagios Community that gets the most kudos for building so many great addons for Nagios. We received inspiration and assistance from many of our great partners and others in order to bring this site to fruition. This site is a testament to true community, great partners, and good people. Rock on.
