Nagios is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
|
||
|
|
network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
|
||
|
|
and when it gets resolved. Nagios is written in C and is designed to
|
||
|
|
run under Linux, although it should work under most other *NIX variants.
|
||
|
|
It can run either as a normal process or as a daemon, intermittently
|
||
|
|
running checks on various services that you specify. The actual service
|
||
|
|
checks are performed by external "plugins" which return service
|
||
|
|
information to Nagios. Several CGI programs are included with Nagios
|
||
|
|
in order to allow you to view the current service status, history, etc.
|
||
|
|
via a web browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides the core nagios infrastructure and web pages.
