Please stop suggesting anyone curl install anything, especially if you're transmitting it without authenticating it's even coming from the right server...

You are absolutely right. I'm assuming that people take a look in the script before they run the command line. It's common to see websites asking people to do that. But you have a point. I will think in a better way to help people to install the script. Any suggestion ? For now, I will change the URL to https with a verified certificate.

I ... I want to give you a hug. Setting up Nagios is pretty much my least favorite sysadmin task by far.

Also, I, personally, am not bothered by curl installs. The fact is that a lot of software not available in a distribution's package manager is installed that way or similarly. It's assumed that the sysadmin will review what they're running. A better method is always good, but curl installing is no big deal, for me.

Great to read that. Please feel free to ask or say anything any time. Thank you.

I've been using it to monitor my personal VPS and availability from my home internet connection.

The integration with github with the hooks are nice.

I've been using it for freegeoip.net for about 3 months now and so far no problems. Totally worth it!

Been using to monitor 4 servers too. It's even better with the chrome plugin :)

Cool
