Plugin Tool

Write a Review

Description:

This Component allows you to test Plugins and Commands. When you upload a plugin to your Nagios XI server you will usually want to test it first. This involves establishing an SSH session to the Nagios XI server and then typing some command line (CLI) stuff. The purpose of this component is to save you the hassle of doing this in the CLI, you can do it all from this GUI. Upload this component via Admin – System Extensions – Manage Components. The Plugin Tool is accessed via the Tools menu under “Tools by Box293”. NOTE: This Component ONLY works with Nagios XI.

Handy plugin and great support
by chris.trotter, August 31, 2011
I was initially having troubles getting this to work, so I contacted the creator. He was more than generous with support, and it turns out it was just some PEBKAC on my behalf (it should be installed via the WIZARD manager, not the Plugin manager as I was doing). Silly error on my behalf.

The plugin works perfectly, very handy. Well done!

Now that the Plugin Tool is a Component it should be installed via Admin - System Extensions - Manage Components.
