3. Someone else has uploaded my project – how can I modify it?!

When MonitoringExchange (then called NagiosExchange) first started, we uploaded a number of projects and plugins we knew. We continue to add new projects we find online, so if you discover your project has already been added and would like to update it yourself, simply create a user account and contact us. Tell us your username and project, and we will assign the project to your user account so you can start modifying it.
