## What it is
A large collection of 450+ Nagios monitoring plugins written primarily in Python, covering big data, cloud, databases, messaging, CI/CD, and Linux infrastructure. It provides ready-made health checks for services like Hadoop, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis, Cassandra, Kubernetes, AWS, and MySQL.

## Use cases
- monitor hadoop cluster health with nagios
- check kafka broker lag from nagios
- nagios plugin to monitor elasticsearch cluster status
- monitor redis and rabbitmq health checks
- check ssl certificate expiry with nagios
- monitor aws resources from nagios
- nagios checks for cassandra and zookeeper
- monitor kubernetes cluster from nagios

## When to choose
- you run Nagios or Icinga and need checks for big data or cloud services
- you want a broad, battle-tested library of infrastructure health checks without writing your own
- you need monitoring coverage for Hadoop, Kafka, Elasticsearch, or Cloudera stacks

## When to avoid
- you use Prometheus or another non-Nagios monitoring system without plugin compatibility
- you need a single-service deep monitoring solution rather than many small checks
- you require a permissively documented standard license (license is non-standard)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, alerting
- domain: monitoring, databases, cloud-computing, infrastructure-as-code, self-hosted
- platform: python, cli
- tags: nagios, monitoring-plugins, hadoop, elasticsearch, kafka, cassandra, zookeeper, redis, rabbitmq, aws, mysql, ssl-certificates, ops, devops, linux, docker, kubernetes
