Sorry for the top post. Nagios can start very simple, but has the ability to end up very complex. It's configs take a modular approach, you have monitors, monitors belong in groups, groups have operators/administrators, etc. My big problem with nagios is when I used it last it didn't keep monitor history which makes trending impossible. 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. Of course I believe it only runs on windows, but it runs very nicely as a VM guest. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org <centos-bounces at centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Sent: Tue May 13 07:34:50 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Somewhat OT: 2008/5/13 Kai Schaetzl <maillists at conactive.com>: > Sergio Belkin wrote on Mon, 12 May 2008 23:07:20 -0300: > > > [CentOS] Somewhat OT: > > even then please write a senseful subject next time! > > Kai > > -- > Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany > Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com > Yes, you're roght Kai, I don't know how I could write such a stupid subject, but it was too late yersterday, and I was writing with a little part of my brain working :) Even so, thanks for your comments, I'd like more experiences about monitoring systems. Again of topic, I want to avoid Nagios because it looks like over complex but if someone has an actual experience demostrating the opposite, I'd be glad to hear.
