The actual system runs on *nix but the agents (various ones) are available for windows. It's quite easy to manage once you have it on the *nix box - just a pile of text files.

We have each of them monitoring things on the other end so that we know about web-site outages, mail connectivity etc. 2010/3/3 Miguel González Castaños <miguel_3_gonza...@yahoo.es<mailto:miguel_3_gonza...@yahoo.es>> On 03/03/2010 04:21, Shawn Everett wrote: For those of you that use Nagios, I'd be interested to learn what you monitor and to some degree how you do it. Personally we monitor: - Server Room Temperature - Hardware health on our HP Servers via SNMP - Basic Windows metrics: drive space, CPU load, RAM etc. - ntbackup and backup exec backup job statuses - service availability: http, dns, smtp etc - Oracle database health on our Linux servers - The same sorts of metrics as above on Linux we do service and machine availability. Backups are monitored and reported by netbackup Java client and you can build your own reports.
