Hello,

I wonder if anyone here uses Nagios to monitor Firebird or InterBase
servers (for uptime/disk space, etc.)? If there is someone, could you
provide nagios plugin for Firebird you use?

If there isn't any, I'm interested to write one. It should be a simple
command-line program to determine whether Firebird/Interbase is running.

Has anyone got a good idea how to do it? I'm thinking connecting to
supplied host/port (defaults to 3050) and username/password
combination and doing "select * from rdb$database". It would be very
nice if we could also retrieve server version.

For those who don't know about it, Nagios is an open source host,
service and network monitoring program:
