Hi Mark,

I have experience with Nagios plugins from around 5 years ago. Those were essentially Perl scripts that I could adjust to work as I wanted them to.  I had no major problems with them. As for OEM, it's overly complex, based on OEM and Java and requires significant resources just to monitor stuff. What exactly is the problem with the plugins?
