# Appendix ## Icinga Template Library ### Overview The Icinga Template Library (ITL) implements standard templates and object definitions for commonly used services. You can include the ITL by using the `include` directive in your configuration file: include The ITL assumes that there's a global constant named `PluginDir` which contains the path of the plugins from the Monitoring Plugins project. ### Check Commands #### ping4 Check command object for the `check_ping` plugin.
