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]

merlin - nagios module

merlin - Module for Endless Redundancy and Loadbalancing In Nagios The Merlin project was initially started to create an easy way to set up distributed Nagios installations allowing Nagios processes to exchange information directly as an alternative to the standard nagios way using NSCA. When ... [More] starting the Ninja project we realised that we could continue the work on Merlin and adopt the project to function as backend for Ninja by adding support for storing the status information in a database, fault tolearance and some other cool things. This means that Merlin now are responsible for providing status data, acting as a backend, for the Ninja GUI. [Less]

jmx4perl

Jmx4Perl provides an alternative new way of accessing JMX (Java Management Extensions) on Java JEE Servers. It is an agent-based approach where a small Java Web application deployed on the application server provides HTTP/JSON-based access to JMX MBeans registered within the application server. ... [More] A set of Perl modules allows transparent access to the exposed JMX information. jmx4perl includes a Nagios Plugin with a rich feature set. Most of all, it is fast and does not require a local Java installation as similar JMX Nagios Plugins. It has been tested on a wide variety of application servers. [Less]

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.
