NAME

       Nagios::Plugin::Config - read nagios plugin .ini style config files

SYNOPSIS

           # Read given nagios plugin config file
           $Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read( '/etc/nagios/plugins.ini' );

           # Search for and read default nagios plugin config file
           $Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read();

           # Access sections and properties (returns scalars or arrayrefs)
           $rootproperty =  $Config->{_}->{rootproperty};
           $one = $Config->{section}->{one};
           $Foo = $Config->{section}->{Foo};

DESCRIPTION

       Nagios::Plugin::Config is a subclass of the excellent Config::Tiny, with the following
       changes:

       •   Repeated keys are allowed within sections, returning lists instead of scalars

       •   Write functionality has been removed i.e. access is read only

       •   Nagios::Plugin::Config searches for a default nagios plugins file if no explicit
           filename is given to "read()". The current standard locations checked are:

           /etc/nagios/plugins.ini
           /usr/local/nagios/etc/plugins.ini
           /usr/local/etc/nagios /etc/opt/nagios/plugins.ini
           /etc/nagios-plugins.ini
           /usr/local/etc/nagios-plugins.ini
           /etc/opt/nagios-plugins.ini

           To use a custom location, set a "NAGIOS_CONFIG_PATH" environment variable to the set
           of directories that should be checked. The first "plugins.ini" or "nagios-plugins.ini"
           file found will be used.
