Nagios is a free and open source network and systems monitoring application used to monitor the availability of systems, networks and applications. It is designed to alert users whenever a monitored service or host stops responding or fails. Nagios can also be used to monitor specific services such as web and FTP services, and can alert users when an issue arises. It can also be used to monitor hardware such as routers and switches and provide real-time information about their status. In addition, Nagios can be used to track performance metrics such as system load and disk usage. Nagios also offers advanced features such as scheduled downtime and scheduling of notifications.
Super-fast monitoring of the system, and also of the system kernel monitors.
really much easier to use with all the information accessible in one big format - sometimes the likes of Nagios are too complicated to get a view of the stats you need quickly
Cloud-based configuration saves weeks of configuration work. Optimized for small businesses of 10-100 servers/devices. 5 servers always free.
I like that it monitors my entire setup, is easy to set up with helpful guides on configuration and is the most affordable tool I have found so far.
It is so easy to install, very powerful and can use Nagios plugins.
It is built on the Nagios framework but extended its potential beyond anyone else. My company used this after researching others in this space.
It makes everything easy and is compatible with all OS distributions (AIX, Linux, Windows, Solaris) as well as network devices. It looks good and is easy to use.
