Nagios relies heavily on fork() being cheap, which it is on Linux but not on Solaris, so Linux is better for this. As for one or two systems, that's mainly a matter of preference. Have a look at Merlin if you want to connect two systems though. It'll be a lot easier for you in the long run than maintaining config and stuff yourself while using NSCA to run the checks. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
