Documentation


Nagios Plugin which checks if an update is available for a Citrix NetScaler.


The plugin connects to citrix.com and parses the RSS feed to get a dict of all available NetScaler relases and the latest available build per release.


To get the installed version of the target NetScaler the plugin uses the NITRO API.
