Nagios can start very simple, but has the ability to end up very complex.<BR>
<BR>
It's configs take a modular approach, you have monitors, monitors belong in groups, groups have operators/administrators, etc.<BR>
<BR>
My big problem with nagios is when I used it last it didn't keep monitor history which makes trending impossible.<BR>
<BR>
I eventually went with ipmonitor from solarwinds which has a nice web interface, all the reporting you may want and works pretty much like nagios does, but through a web interface. Very reasonable pricing too.<BR>
<BR>
Of course I believe it only runs on windows, but it runs very nicely as a VM guest.<BR>

Yes, you're roght Kai, I don't know how I could write such a stupid<BR>
subject, but it was too late yersterday, and I was writing with a<BR>
little part of my brain working :)<BR>
<BR>
Even so, thanks for your comments, I'd like more experiences about<BR>
monitoring systems. Again of topic, I want to avoid Nagios because it<BR>
looks like over complex but if someone has an actual experience<BR>
demostrating the opposite, I'd be glad to hear.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance<BR>
