perl modules for unix system info

bigearsbilly · 02-18-2010, 05:12 AM

I am doing some bespoke nagios plugins.

can anyone recommend any good perl modules
for system checks.
disks, memory, processes, load avgs, networks, etc etc. everything basically.

they will need to perform on bsd, aix, solaris, linux.

any recommendations?

or either write your own or customise the already available perl modules.

there are loads at nagiosexchange

Basically, goto search.cpan.org and enter the name of each OS.

granted chris, i could do that.
but i was wondering if anyone could recommend some.

you know what CPAN is like!

True; might be worth asking perlmonks (although you prob have already).

In addition to Perlmonks, some very smart Perl people post at Stackoverflow.

Cant you just read /proc/ ?
With perls regexp it really should not be that hard to parse + if you give the script to someone else, they dont have to hunt down the modules.
