Taylor Dondich, Fruity's developer, and several list members have pointed out that Fruity is for Nagios 2.x only, not 1.x only as in my previous post. Sorry for any confusion.

Both Monarch and Fruity are web-based configuration management tools for Nagios. Monarch (MONitor ARCHitecture) is integrated into GroundWork Open Source, which was released last month. GroundWork "inherited" Fruity when Fruity developer Taylor Dondich joined GroundWork last year. Why choose one over the other? * Monarch is probably the better choice for the experienced Nagios user: it has advanced features such as the ability to convert existing Nagios 1.x config files to 2.x.: http://sourceforge.net/projects/monarch * Fruity is simpler to use, and is probably the better choice for the new Nagios user: however, it only supports Nagios 2.x,: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fruity Both can be used stand-alone: that is, Monarch works with Nagios even if you choose not to implement the rest of GroundWork Open Source.
