monitor nagios

[fixedcl]

copiar y pegar xD, buen metodo, aunque la instalacion es relativamente trivial si sigues el manual que esta en la documentacion de nagios, lo interesante es ocupar los modulos como NDOUtils para guardar la informacion de rendimiento en una base de datos, y por supuesto el envio de sms via gnokki

Fortunately, Nagios makes a lot more sense than this guy. I've been using it since it was Netsaint version 0.0.6 and never looked back; truly an amazing product.

Hi friend.. i want to setup Nagios on Fedora in Vmware workstation.. i think you have alot of knowledge of Nagios. so can you please help me how to do this..

thanks in advance.. bye

One of the nicest features of nagios is its documentation. I recommend you start there; I still use it regularly. If you get into too much trouble or have an unusual need, the mailing list is very informative as well.

How does it compare against:

- ZenOSS

- Spiceworks

- Cacti

- BB4

- Zabbix

- What'sUP

- OpManager

??

[ScotticusZ]

Cacti isn't host availability monitoring; it's more like graphing / shaping (uses RRD tool as a time-series graphing agent). And What'sUP is junk.

I'm not familiar with the others. BigBrother is really about the only competitor Nagios has that I'm aware of it, but the licensing expense is the biggest reason to avoid it. Nagios is free. :)

[Gauchoo1234]

I tought Cacti was the same as Nagios... doesn't it have a monitoring tool for hosts/devices/services?

And what does it have that nagios does not?

Thanks!

[ScotticusZ]

Not really. Cacti is a graphing tool; it doesn't check services and it won't notify you of problems. Cacti is like MRTG on steroids; great for history accounting, awful for problem detection and response. The two work well together, but serve sharply different purposes.

It depends on your needs and your money, but certanly nagios can do anything you want via plugins, if you want a high end gui, go for centreon.

if you can figure out nagios, you should be able to figure out how to use desktop capturing. nagios is sweet!

I pity any man with a Ford 3.8L. I gave up on mine after blowing the head gaskets a second time.

Good luck with your car. Mine needed constant repair. :(

[99mustang232]

The older 3.8ls have problems as the newr models have MLS head gaskets. What's this got to do with nagios?
