I don't use it but the first hit on google looks promising... http://www.google.com/search?q=nagios+check_iptables "The script does not (and can not) detect "stupid" rules. It's purpose is to ensure that iptables and the configured rules (whatever they may be) are loaded. It is useful to identify situations such as: - forgetting to start iptables at boot - stopping iptables for testing and forgetting to restart - etc Normal condition is where all tables have 1 or more rules. Critical condition is when a table (any table) has 0 rules.
