Nagios Plugins for Linux

A suite of Nagios plugins for monitoring Linux servers and appliances.

Nagios is an open source computer system monitoring, network monitoring and infrastructure monitoring software application. Nagios, originally created under the name NetSaint, was written and is currently maintained by Ethan Galstad along with a group of developers who are actively maintaining both the official and unofficial plugins.

The Nagios Plugins for Linux are intended to be run by NRPE, the Nagios Remote Plugin Executor, that “allows you to remotely execute Nagios plugins on other Linux/Unix machines. This allows you to monitor remote machine metrics (disk usage, CPU load, etc.).”

PyOOCS – Out of Complance Scanner

A customizable and modular security scanner for Linux.

Project name: pyoocs
Tags: Utilities/Security
License: GPL v3+
Operating System: Linux
Implementation:
– Scan Engine: Python 2.4+, Python 3
– Front-end: HTML5, Javascript, bootstrap, AngularJS
– Back-end: Node.js, Express, MongoDB 3.2
Last stable version: none yet
Development: GitHub (shortlog)
Documentation: GitHub README

This project is at an early stage of development and only a few modules are currently available:

environment: checks the root environment
filesystem: checks for mandatory filesystems and mount options and for system files permissions
kernel: check the kernel runtime configuration
packages: make some checks on installed packages and rpm database
services: check whether a list of services are running or not
sudo: checks for root rights given to users and security issues

The checks are configurable via a JSON file. You can found an example here.

In particular three different output formats are supported:

console: print the output to the console:
```
"oocs-output" : "console",
```
json: print the output to the console, but in json format:
```
"oocs-output" : "json",
```

html: run an http server for displaying the result of the scan:

"oocs-output" : "html",
"oocs-html-opts" : {
    "baseUrl" : "http://localhost:8000/"
    "publicDir" : "/srv/www-oocs/html/server/public"
}

The html mode is intended for debug and testing only.
Use the script oocs-htmlviewer.py instead, or the Angular viewer coupled with a Node.js and MongoDB backend.
