Scout Plugins Library
---------------------------------

Scout (http://scoutapp.com) is a hosted monitoring solution. Scout uses open-source plugins (written in Ruby)
to monitor a wide variety of system, OS, and application metrics.

Each folder in this repository represents one Scout plugin.



How to Make your own Scout plugin
---------------------------------

Anyone can create a Scout plugin. Get started by:

  1) looking at the examples in this Repository
  2) reading the development guide at http://scoutapp.com/info/creating_a_plugin

When you have something working you'd like to share, drop us a note at support@scoutapp.com.
Or, send us a pull request here on github. Also don't hesitate to contact us before or during
plugin development if you need guidance.


A note on tests
---------------------------------

Plugin tests are key. Read up on plugin testing at http://scoutapp.com/info/creating_a_plugin#test_file.
We prefer test/unit for its ubiquity and simplicity.
