Get + Install

The source code of these scripts is available from GitHub.

If you are running a Debian-based system you may want to use my apt-repository to install the extra monitoring plugins. In that case you just need to run

aptitude install bf-monitoring

This will install the plugins to /usr/lib/nagios/bf-plugins and you’ll always stay up-to-date with bug fixes and new features :)
