Overall Satisfaction with Nagios
Nagios was used as an open source system health monitoring tool by the IT security department. The tool allows you to receive alerts when system health is not at an acceptable level. It addresses the need for dedicated system administrators manually checking and validating system health on a daily basis.
- Network Monitoring - Nagios monitors the network for problems caused by overloaded data links or network connections, as well as monitoring routers, switches.
- Server Monitoring - Agent and agentless monitoring solutions available with a multitude of plugins.
- Application Monitoring - Detect application, service or process problems.
- Interface - The interface can be pretty confusing at times and could use a bit of work.
- Support - Easier to find help in community forums rather than calling for support since it is an open-source tool.
- I think having it was a waste of time. It was implemented by a person prior to my arrival and was set up halfway. It took more time for me to learn the product than it was actually viewed or used.
