About This Video
Follow along with Emmett Kapsner as he explores check_game—the coolest plugin you might not know about. He covers Nagios’s in-house game servers in St. Paul, why you’d monitor a game server, and how check_game wraps QStat/QuakeStat to report up/down, ping, player count, server name, and map across roughly 143 protocols. Learn how to install it, wire up checks and perfdata, what’s on the roadmap, and why monitoring redundancy matters when games and Core share the same host.
