# `check_xmppng` - check plugin 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 3.7.3
* defusedxml 0.5.0
* nagiosplugin 1.2.4
