You can use InterMapper's command-line probe feature to run a wide array of useful Nagios plugins. These are available from the Nagios website or from the Nagios Plugins website.
Using Nagios Plugins with InterMapper.
The Nagios Plugin probe lets you specify a Nagios plugin to run, along with any associated parameters. You can use the ${ADDRESS} and ${PORT} macros in the command line — InterMapper substitutes the device's IP address and the specified port. InterMapper will invoke the plugin and use the exit value to set the condition of the device to UP/Okay, UP/Alarm, UP/Critical, or DOWN.
InterMapper also interprets the information written to stdout by the plugin and formats it into the InterMapper status window. In particular, the performance data returned by the probe becomes a list of chartable variables, and the reason/condition appears as the device's condition string.
The Nagios Plugin probe expects the Nagios plugin to be in the Tools sub-directory of the InterMapper Settings directory.
