## Status

Alpha quality.

This codebase is subject to change without notice and may break client code
that depends on it. You are encouraged to [vendor](#references) this package
if you find it useful until such time that the API is considered stable.

## Overview

This package contains common types and package-level variables used when
developing Nagios plugins. The intent is to reduce code duplication between
various plugins and help reduce typos associated with literal strings.

## Features

- Nagios state constants
- state labels (e.g., `StateOKLabel`)
- state exit codes (e.g., `StateOKExitCode`)
- Nagios `CheckOutputEOL` constant
- provides a consistent newline format for both Nagios Core and Nagios XI
(and presumably other similar monitoring systems)
- Nagios `ServiceState` type
- simple label and exit code "wrapper"
- useful in client code as a way to map internal check results to a Nagios
service state value
- Support for evaluating a given performance data value and setting the final
plugin state exit code
- Support for parsing a given performance data metric string and generating
one or more `PerformanceData` values
- Support for using a "branding" callback function to display application
name, version, or other information as a "trailer" for check results
provided to Nagios
- this could be useful for identifying what version of a plugin determined
the service or host state to be an issue
- Panics from client code are captured and reported
- panics are surfaced as `CRITICAL` state
- service output and error details are overridden to panic prominent
- Optional support for emitting performance data generated by plugins
- if not overridden by client code *and* if using the provided
`nagios.NewPlugin()` constructor, a default `time` performance data metric
is emitted to indicate total plugin runtime
- Support for collecting multiple errors from client code
- Support for explicitly omitting Errors section in `LongServiceOutput`
- this section is automatically omitted if no errors were recorded (by
client code or panic handling code)
- Support for explicitly omitting Thresholds section in `LongServiceOutput`
- this section is automatically omitted if no thresholds were specified by
client code
- Automatically omit `LongServiceOutput` section if not specified by client
code
- Support for overriding text used for section headers/labels

## Changelog

See the [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) file for the changes associated with
each release of this application. Changes that have been merged to `master`,
