It seems to be a great time for monitoring solutions. Some of you may have noticed that Icinga has released it's first stable version of the completely redeveloped Icinga 2.
After several changes in the recent past, where the Team maintaining the Plugins used for several Monitoring solutions was busy moving everything to new infrastructure, they are now back on track. The recent development milestone is reached and a call for testing was also sent out.
In the meanwhile I prepared the packaging for this bigger move. The packages are now moved to the source package monitoring-plugins, the whole packaging changes can be observed in the changelog. With this new release we have also some NEWS, which might be useful to check. Same counts for upstream NEWS.
You can give the packages a go and grab them from my 'unstable' and 'wheezy-backports' repositories at http://ftp.cyconet.org/debian/. Right after the stable release, the packages will be uploaded into Debian unstable, but might get delayed by the NEW queue due the new package names.
