[CentOS] Migrating away from Nagios

I am a pretty hardcore ZenOSS user.. We use it to monitor over 1000
devices in different fashions - using a combination of SNMP (Linux), WMI
(windows) and SSH (Unix/Aix).  While there is a slight learning curve to
get everything working the way you want - it is, in my opinion, the most
powerful open source NMS.  It is a very active project with excellent
community (and even commercial) support.

I'd definitely suggest that you take a look at it.

Subject: [CentOS] Migrating away from Nagios

I have to rebuild a new Nagios box and thought this might be a good time
to migrate away. I use snmp mostly for everything but with the fork
Nagios
endured I wonder about putting any more effort into the project.

I probably should look at OpenNMS again, but the other options I think
might
work are Icinga (Should be trivial to migrate) or Zenoss or maybe even
Zabbix?

Anyone have experience in Nagios and care to share comparisons with
similar
projects with strong community involvement?

Also, anyone currently running OpenNMS that can comment on the learning
curve
and level of flexibility coming from a Nagios user?

Thanks!
