Meet The New Nagios Core Services Platform

Built on over 25 years of monitoring experience, the Nagios Core Services Platform provides insightful monitoring dashboards, time-saving monitoring wizards, and unmatched ease of use. Use it for free indefinitely.

Monitoring Made Magically Better

  • Nagios Core on Overdrive
  • Powerful Monitoring Dashboards
  • Time-Saving Configuration Wizards
  • Open Source Powered Monitoring On Steroids
  • And So Much More!
This script checks your real-world IP address and compares it to an expected result. If the two don't match, the check returns "CRITICAL" and Nagios sends an alert containing the new IP address.
To use this plugin, you'll need to run it and provide an expected ip address as a command line argument. For Example:

./check_ext_ip 192.168.1.1

Except you wouldn't use a private IP. Instead, you would use your real-world IP address. If the result of the check matches what you specified on the command line, then the check returns "OK". If not, it returns "CRITICAL".
