Nagios is used primarily in the Information Technology department, where it is used for proactive monitoring of server and network infrastructure and associated services.
- Monitoring and Alerting
- Service and host metrics
- Change management assistance
- End user reports
- Metrics
- Native support for features (as opposed to plugins)
- Proactive addressing and notification on issues
- Identification of application problems and infrastructure issues
- End-user awareness of infrastructure uptime importance
Nagios may not have as much metrics reporting or as many visualizations as the other products, but outdoes the others in ease of configuration and the ability to deliver multi-faceted alerting across a variety of applications, with the help of plugins or with the user community's assistance on coding checks. The flexibility of scripts that support its plugins are also superior to the other products.
