Plugins process command-line arguments, perform a specific check, and then return the results to Shinken Enterprise. They can be compiled binaries (written in C, C++, etc) or executable scripts (shell, Perl, PHP, etc).

Select one of the sub categories to get into Configuration. Selecting Checks in the Main Menu, is the same as selecting Checks in the Sub Menu. | ![]() |
