I'm trying out Groundworks/Nagios now, using a VM appliance that has their Community Edition 6.0 installed. It's not exactly what I would call clear sailing, tho - I can't seem to find a step-by-step setup, especially for use on Windows servers. I see where I can create service profiles, but what do I add to them? There are 5 CPU tests; what's the difference between them, and which one would be best for me? Can't seem to find that part out ... and so on. Frustrating ... And this is the "simplified" way to do Nagios? Woooo .... Somewhere I came across references to software that needs to be installed on the Windows hosts, but that's all it was - a passing reference ... If you've got, or know of, a guide to setting it up to monitor Windows hosts, I'd love to see it. :-) ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
