Projects

Icinga

Icinga is a monitoring system based on Nagios. It extends its capabilities and delivers new features like libdbi for database abstraction, well written APIs and a new, easy to extend webinterface.

Shinken

Shinken is a multiplatform (GNU/Linux & Windows) monitoring tool in Python compatbile with Nagios configuration and plugins. The main goal of the program is to allows users to have a easy administrable distributed and high availability monitoring tool. It scales the load by ... [More] "cutting" the user's configuration into independant part and send it to workers. It also have multisites features, UTF-8 names and is compatible with Nagios configuration and plugins. [Less]

Opsview Core

Opsview Core is an open source network monitoring software application that solves the challenges of monitoring modern IT and network systems.

NSCP

NSClient++ (NSCP) aims to be a simple yet powerful and secure monitoring daemon for Windows operating systems. It is built for Nagios, but nothing in the daemon is actually Nagios specific and could probably, with little or no change, be integrated into any monitoring software that supports running user tools for polling.

Ninja - Nagios GUI Project

The Ninja project is an attempt to develop an alternative Nagios gui with the aim of being the most useful Open Source web front end for Nagios. You will be able to use them as a combination or replacement to the existing CGI's. Ninja is work in progress and we would love to get your input, ideas or most preferibly patches ;)

check_mk

Check_mk adopts a new a approach for collecting data from operating systems and network components. It obsoletes NRPE, check_by_ssh, NSClient and check_snmp. It has many benefits, the most important of which are: * Significant reduction of CPU usage on the Nagios host. * Automatic inventory of ... [More] items to be checked on hosts. The larger your Nagios installation is, the more important get these points. In fact check_mk enables you to implement a monitoring environment exceeding 20.000 checks/min on the first hand. [Less]

GroundWork Monitor Open Source

A complete availability monitoring solution that ensures IT infrastructure uptime while identifying issues before they become real problems. Unifies proven open source tools - Nagios, Nmap, sendpage, PHP, Apache, MySQL and more - through PHP/AJAX-based components and an integrated user interface to deliver the extensible functionality you require.

pomamonitor

Introductionpomamonitor (Poor's Man Monitor) is a shell script that rely's on notify-send command to send alerts to Gnome/KDE/XFCE desktop user when a host or several hosts that was previously set to be monitored are offline. Pretty useful for small system administrators that doesn't ... [More] need Nagios/Zabbix for monitoring such a small enviroment. Obviously, it supports IPv6: we are in 2009! Why Poor's Man?A system administrator usually needs to monitor constantly the machines and system he is responsible for. This is often done by central monitoring systems, with several nodes like Nagios, Zabbix or Cacti. But this would require a central server to keep track of all uptime/downtime data, server's info like load average etc. A poor man (a ironic way to refer to a modest sysadmin) wouldn't have a central server to do such thing or even not too many hosts to care about. So the objective with this project is just to give a quick desktop alert to sysadmins that something is wrong with a server or network. Quick alerts can lead to quick responses and less downtime. Useful ApplicationsJohn has many websites hosted in different datacenters. He wants to be alerted if any of his websites go down to jump on the tech support's neck as soon as possible. Mike is responsible to monitor several VPNs with dynamic IPs and domestic broadbands. He wants to know if xpto.no-ip.org stopped responding to act as quickly as he can. Mark is an IRC administrator of a network that is a constant target of DDoS. He needs to be warned if a server stopped responding even if he is not using an IRC client at the moment. Kurt is some sort of wierd telecom geek that wants to measure and monitor absolutely everything on internet to warn his friends over twitter when a famous service is offline. Software Dependencies and TechnologyYou will find what are pomamonitor's software dependencies and how does it work under the hood on SoftwareDependencies page. I'm impatient: how do I run it?So, want to download the latest pomamonitor version? Just read HowToInstall page. Help neededWe don't need to be Obama to say 'Yes we can!'. This is free software: no matter how inexperienced you are, you can help us with something you know or think. We're currently missing experience in the follow subjects: An equivalent to the command notify-send to other enviroments, like KDE. How to package pomamonitor to major Linux distributions. A GUI for settings. Zenity may be? If you can help us in those subject or any not listed above, don't be shy, let us have a chat Feature Request/RoadmapWhat to suggest/request a feature? Please, provide us rich details on what you're thinking. Or take a look on what has already been suggested on RoadMap. Keep in touchKeep in touch with us through our mailing list [Less]

Thruk

Thruk is a multibackend monitoring webinterface which currently supports Nagios, Icinga and Shinken as backend using the Livestatus addon. See http://www.thruk.org for more.

Mimic Console

Mimic is a visual web-based monitoring aggregation system aimed at sysadmins managing medium to large server farms which reduces status of hosts to a small icon representing each host. It could also be thought of as a monitoring system monitoring system
