Hi,<br>
<br>
I've written a Nagios plugin that performs many Windows checks
directly from Linux without any Windows proxy ie a client-less
Window checking plugin called check_wmi_plus (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Operating-Systems/Windows/WMI/Check-WMI-Plus/details">http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Operating-Systems/Windows/WMI/Check-WMI-Plus/details</a>)<br>
<br>
Now, I'm about to release a feature that allows the use of a .ini
file where users can configure their own WMI based checks without
having to program. I've attached a sample of what the ini file looks
like.<br>
<br>
What I see happening with ini files is that users will create their
own checks and can share them with each other. I'd like to create a
place where users can post their ini files and other users can
download them.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to think of the best way to do this. There are several
options that I've thought about -<br>
- this mailing list<br>
- a forum somewhere<br>
- a site using some content management system like Drupal, Joomla
etc<br>
- a custom built site<br>
<br>
The unstructured ones eg mailing list, are simple, but make it
harder to find details.<br>
As well as users sharing with each other, I can take the some of the
posted checks and place them in the release version of the ini file.<br>
<br>
It would be good to put them somewhere that is already Nagios
related where where users already have logins (who needs another set
of login details!) to allow posting and I'm looking for ideas on
the best place to make this stuff available.<br>
<br>
Please reply with ideas/recommendations?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
