I needed to make friends of ICP DAS (PET-7253) with Nagios3. Namely, to read discrete inputs. 1: OK, 0: Critical.
The plugin did a great job! Thanks!!
Hi..
Need to add some more functionalities like MODBUS parsing
As of now plugin only capable to poll data ,but using this we can not parse data.Please modify this so we can easily monitor individual parameters using check commands..

Hi,

I read in the description you could write a plugin for ModBus RTU / RS485. I need one :-) I've connected the RS485 directly to the nagios server by a comserver (serial over ethernet) modpoll is working so far... So the plugin should be able to just use a /dev/tty device.

thanks

Hi, Marco. Thank you very much for the rating. Since version 0.4 check_modbus supports Modbus RTU over RS232/RS485 and some other features.
