Marcel,
Remember my requirement: Nagios 2.x (Nagios 1.x irrelevant)
Monarch seems to me to be GroundWorks' previous configuration front-end
while the new up-and-coming configuration front-end specific for Nagios
2.x is called Fruity, also by GroundWorks.
Is this wrong?
Yes this is wrong. I believe Monarch indeed was available for version
1.0 (although I have never used it for that) it now has features that
make it possible to convert existing configurations.
In any case I believe more in configuration tools that have started
their life on Nagois 2.x as I'm really afraid that the older tools have
too much baggage. Maybe I'm wrong on that one ?
Some examples that I've come across that seems to do what I want
* Fruity, by GroundWorks, latest version: 1.0 RC1
* NagiosQL 2005, by Martin Willisegger, latest version 1.0 RC2
Well, I can say that I have tested both and have now migrated to Monarch
because of the (future) scale of my Nagios implementation. Fruity is the
light-weight brother/sister of Monarch, but works very well it provides
an almost 1-on-1 mapping of the Nagios configuration files. I believe
that the initial Fruity developer is now part of the Monarch team (am
not sure about this).
I think NagiosQL is ok but I stubled across some bugs (e.g. '\'
handling in configurations) and I found the interface not very
comprehensible.
The above tools both work fine, and give you an option to easily
configure your files. However, Monarch does more it adds features that
are not supported by the Nagios configuration files that make it easy to
maintain large groups of hosts and services, like service and host
profiles, dependency templates, contact templates, etc..
Bases on my experience with the above I would most certainly recommend
Monarch if you plan on having a large Nagios configuration. If not I
think you should go for Fruity since it does give you enough to easily
create you configuration in a very comprehensible interface.
Others?
Yes I have tried one more but can't remember which one it was..:)
Remember, that all the above are just my personal experiences...
Regards,
Marcel

Hi,
We are using Monarch for the m$ administrators and are very positive
about it.
Only 1 thing gives some trouble.
When we add a system, first add a new file for it.
After commit Nagios reports a configuration error, the course is that
Monarch the new .cfg file not saved in the running nagios.cfg
Kind regards

Hi,
I have latelely been looking into Monarch. This seems a very robust
interface. For as for as I know it does support all configuration
features and even more in the form of host and service profiles.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/monarch
or

Kind regards,

Hi there,
I'm looking for a GUI-frontend for Nagios 2.x.
Anyone can tell me what options I have if my requirements are:
* Nagios 2.x support, Nagios 1.x irrelevant
* Must support *all* configuration features of Nagios 2.x
* Must support template based configuration
* Restart from within the GUI
* Good support, stable, being actively maintained
I can of course see a list of potential candidates on
NagiosExchange
but it seems to me that many of them are really Nagios 1.x
specific.
I'm trying to save some time here by asking you lot instead of
installing and trying out each individually.
thx.
Lars
