developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
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.
