This plugin for Nagios® monitors TYPO3 instances and reports the status to the Nagios® core. Depending on the configuration, Nagios® detects specific states (warning or critical) and runs its notification or event handling procedures.

The main features of this plugin are:

- check TYPO3 core versions
- check TYPO3 core states (dev, alpha, beta, etc.)
- check TYPO3 extensions and specific versions (e.g. insecure extensions)
- check PHP version (compatibility check against TYPO3)
- check TYPO3 deprecation log (which should not be activated on LIVE sites)
- check current disk space of the TYPO3 instance
- and more...

A plugin configuration file (check_typo3.cfg) lets you, as a system administrator, set up your customized monitoring environment. You can list specific TYPO3 Core versions, TYPO3 extensions (and their versions), PHP versions, etc. that Nagios® should treat as suspicous and raise a warning or alarm if detected. Such a configuration enables you to get notified if, for example, the TYPO3 Security Team publishes a security bulletin about a vulnerability found in a TYPO3 extension.

This Nagios® plugin requires the TYPO3 extension "nagios", published as open-source and licensed under GPL in the official TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER), see: https://extensions.typo3.org/extensions/nagios
