<p>There are a lot of "addon" software packages that are available for Icinga. Addons can be used to extend Icinga's
functionality or integrate Icinga with other applications.</p>
<p>Addons are available for:</p>

<p>You can find many addons for Icinga by visiting:</p>

</li></ul></div>
<p>First we'll give a brief introduction to a few of the addons that Ethan Galstad developed for Nagios...</p>
<p><a name="addons-nrpe"></a><span class="bold"><strong>NRPE</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../images/nrpe.png"></span></p>
<p>NRPE is an addon that allows you to execute <a class="link" href="plugins.html" title="5.1. Icinga Plugins">plugins</a> on remote Linux/Unix hosts. This is
useful if you need to monitor local resources/attributes like disk usage, CPU load, memory usage, etc. on a remote host. Similiar
functionality can be accomplished by using the <span class="emphasis"><em>check_by_ssh</em></span> plugin, although it can impose a higher CPU load on the
monitoring machine - especially if you are monitoring hundreds or thousands of hosts.</p>
<p>The NRPE addon can be found at <a class="link" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nrpe-2.x/" target="_top">http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nrpe-2.x/</a>. You will find some <a class="link" href="nrpe.html" title="10.2. NRPE">documentation</a> in the next section.</p>
<p><a name="addons-nsca"></a><span class="bold"><strong>NSCA-ng</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../images/nsca.png"></span></p>
<p>NSCA-ng (a replacement for NSCA) is an addon that allows you to send <a class="link" href="passivechecks.html" title="5.7. Passive Checks">passive
check</a> results from remote Linux/Unix hosts to the Icinga daemon running on the monitoring server. This is very useful in
<a class="link" href="distributed.html" title="7.6. Distributed Monitoring">distributed</a> and <a class="link" href="redundancy.html" title="7.7. Redundant and Failover Network Monitoring">redundant/failover</a> monitoring setups.</p>
<p>The NSCA-ng addon can be found at <a class="link" href="http://www.nsca-ng.org/" target="_top">http://www.nsca-ng.org/</a>. Apart from that you will
find some <a class="link" href="nsca.html" title="10.3. NSCA">documentation</a> on NSCA in the next section.</p>
<p><a name="addons-idoutils"></a><span class="bold"><strong>IDOUtils</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../images/idoutils.png"></span></p>
<p>IDOUtils is an addon that allows you to store all status information from Icinga in a database. Multiple instances of
Icinga can all store their information in a central database for centralized reporting. In the future it will probably be used as
a basis for a PHP based web interface.</p>
<p>The IDOUtils addon install instructions can be found in the <a class="link" href="quickstart-idoutils.html" title="2.6. Icinga with IDOUtils Quickstart">Quickstart-Idoutils</a> and
more documentation can be found at <a class="link" href="http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/" target="_top">https://docs.icinga.com/</a>.</p>
