We are pleased to release Cisco IMC Plugin 0.9.3 for Nagios

Nagios is an open source computer system monitoring, network monitoring and infrastructure monitoring software application. Nagios offers monitoring and alerting services for servers, switches, applications, and services.

The solution provides end-user with two components.
The first is the Nagios monitoring plugin script (cisco_imc_nagios) which will provide end-user with the capability of monitoring the Cisco IMC of standalone UCS C-Series Servers.
The second is an add-on to the Nagios, which will provide end-user with the capability to auto discover Cisco IMC of standalone UCS C-Series Servers and create the host definitions in Nagios . It also creates the service definitions for the services defined in the configuration file. By default, the "Check Rack Servers" service is defined in the configuration which uses the cisco_imc_nagios script to calculate the health of the servers. For servers which are not healthy, it gives the associated faults and their details. For servers which are healthy, it givs the inventory details.
Supported Nagios Releases:
This plugin is supported on Nagios version 3.2 and higher versions.

Supported Cisco IMC Releases:
This plugin is supported on Cisco IMC Releases 1.5 and 2.0.

What is new in release 0.9.3?

Plugin Enhancements:
Capabilities to generate performance statistics of different IMC components.
"onlyFaults" flag has been changed to "faultDetails", this flag shows detailed fault info when run with inHierarchical flag.
Short options for parameters "--inHierarchical" i.e. “–R” , "--useSharedSession" i.e. “–S” and "--faultDetails" i.e. “-F” have been added.

Important Note regarding Backward Compatibility:
