check_xmppng - nagios/icinga check for XMPP
===========================================
This program implements a nagios check plugin for XMPP servers implementing the
XMPP protocol as specified in `RFC 6120 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6120>`_.
The program implements the following features:
* check client to server (C2S) as well as server to server (S2S) ports
* check XMPP servers on IPv6 and IPv4 addresses
* support STARTTLS as specified in RFC 6120 section 5.
* check the validity of the server certificate presented by the XMPP server
The plugin has been implemented because of insufficiencies in check_ssl_cert
and the existing `check_xmpp
<https://exchange.icinga.org/exchange/check_xmpp>`_.
Maximum acceptable timeouts as well as minimum acceptable number of days the
server certificate needs to be valid can be specified as command line
parameters. For a full list of parameters see the *Usage* section below.
Dependencies
------------
The program is implemented in Python 3 and uses the following libraries besides
the Python standard library:
* `defusedxml <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/defusedxml/>`_ to sanitize XML from
the XMPP server
* `nagiosplugin <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nagiosplugin>`_ to take care of
the nagios plugin interface boilerplate code
The software has been developed and tested with the following versions:
* Python 3.4.2
* defusedxml 0.4.1
* nagiosplugin 1.2.2
