[Cialug] Nagios and web monitoring

[Joseph Pietras]

More on the yes and no.

Extending nagios with this kind of plugin is very easy to do.
be sure to install wget and/or curl and/or appropriate perl modules.
Any of those 3 can do the job.  The all allow for credentials being sent for
authentication of need be.
PERL  modules/objects offer very high level programming, almost cut/paste
from docs on CPAN etc.
