Overall Satisfaction with Nagios
Nagios is used by the Operations Department in order to monitor our infrastructure and some application healthchecks.
- There isn't a huge learning curve for someone who is new to the organization to jump in and start creating health checks and auditing the old ones.
- It provides information clearly and organizes it for the NOC or whoever may be looking at it to have a good idea of where to start their troubleshooting.
- At time Nagios isn't the quickest to clear alerts and some odd issues can stop it from clearing alerts that I've seen in the past, such as a new host type being added to the configuration without a valid host being spun up before hand. I've only seen it at one previous company.
- Nagios is sort of an industry standard, it definitely rewards you for the time/money invested in building out the monitoring platform.
- A great return would be it monitoring efficiently and saving the company money from unknown downtime.
