Overall Satisfaction with Nagios

In my case, Nagios is used as early alert on sensitive equipment in our data center such as servers, switches, routers and firewall, even on precision air conditioner, all of them using SNMP protocol.
Is used by the Data Center Operations Center Department and I think is not a business problem that it addresses but a matter of efficiency in the use of technical resources.

Pros

  • The use of SNMP Protocol is easy, transparent and almost effortless
  • The event handler has proved to be an extraordinary tool
  • the ability to work with other tools such as rrdt for graphics and nagvis for maps

Cons

  • Configuration
  • User interface
  • Native applications for Graphics
  • Less cost in tech human resources
  • Efficiency in tech procedures
  • Instant ROI as a result of use open source version
I have not used any other software I can compare to Nagios
Because of we are using the open source version, we have no official Nagios support.

Yes

In Data Centers Controls as first alert dashboards, in a Network Operation Center to map hot spots or graphs data bandwidth usage. Take advantage of event handlers to perform automated event based tasks or trigger email (sms) alert as a result of those events. As a result of his difficult configuration process it may not suitable for escenarios where you have to scale as a regular basis.
