Did you consider opennms - and if so was there a reason for not using it? It has some integration for provisioning, but I'm not exactly sure how it works and the latest release made some changes.
its on the list of things I want to get to one day, not quite there yet. Although, higher on the list at the moment is the whole flapjack stack and how it integrates with cucumber!
I didn't know about that, but the first googled hit says you are supposed to be able to write reusable tests in a human-readable language which sounds way too unrealistic to ever work. And I want a tool that understands network equipment natively, not just it's own clients on only the hardware/OS's where you are able to run them.
I can understand putting off testing OpenNMS back in the day when you had to get your own Sun JVM which was particularly painful on CentOS, but it has been bundled in the yum repo for a while now. And maybe someday enough bugs will be shaken out of the version of openjdk in Centos that it won't be needed...

Hi,
Has anyone looked at using icinga ? I know it replaces the front end of nagios, and uses the same (slightly modified ?) backend, using the same plugins.

Has anyone looked at using icinga ?
The forums are nearly dead, doesn't look like much of the Nagios folk jumped ship yet. Archives show next to no activity.
Frankly, if I am migrating away from Nagios, I would likely be compelled to put any effort into a significant improvement like Zenoss or OpenNMS rather than trade apples for apples...

If you'd like to listen to an audio session with the project leads, both Zenoss and OpenNMS have been featured on the FLOSS Weekly podcast (http://twit.tv/floss). Zenoss is session 124 (very recent) and OpenNMS was session 15 which is a bit dated but these discussions aren't particularly technical - but they give you a feeling for the philosophy of the projects, where they are headed, who uses them, and how they mesh their commercial and opensource aspects.
I happen to have a long commute and play stuff like this on the way...

Icinga is an interesting project, and there is work going on under the hood to make it a more flexible and more usable nagios variant. However, they haven't actually released anything significant as yet. What you get out of the box from Icinga is pretty much nagios at the moment.
