Re: [Shinken-devel] alternative remote check methods

[nap <nap...@gm...>]

Hi,

First of all welcome :)

Shinken is design to be a nagios-core reimplementation, so checks
plugins are outside the code. But we can at least talk about it a
tuning page, and add theses commands in the default configuration
file. I will also work in the "how to monitor X" pages. We can talk
about it there too.

When we will have more dev, we would be able to open a new "branch" on
the code about plugins or NRPE like tool. But there are still quite a
lot work in the core to open it now :)
But if someone want to work on it instead of the core from now, we can
open this branch now, there is no problem about it :)

One last thing is this code seem Linux only. It must be an option for
users to use it, not mandatory, because others platform are important
in the Shinken project (like windows poller). It can be something like
a "poller module" in fact.
