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

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.

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.

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]

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. :)

How does it compare against:

- ZenOSS

- Spiceworks

- Cacti

- BB4

- Zabbix

- What'sUP

- OpManager

??

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

[ScotticusZ]

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. :(

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.
