[Nagios-users] Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?
Hello, i work at a german research institute. We are searching for a good monitoring tool, which can control many PCs with Debian Linux and some with Windows. We already have a Nagios with many selfmade scripts here, but my boss also wants statistics with nice graphs like rrdtool. ;-) The nagiosgrapher isn`t running yet, because of some problems with cpan and perl. Does anybody have some experiences with Zabbix, OpenNMS or Cacti? I read something about nagios scripts support in the latest opennms version? We also need "special" scripts for swapping, cpu, printers (SNMP), bacula (backup), SMART, ... So what can you recommend?

I haven't tried NagiosGrapher. I'd also recommend PNP for nice graphs. http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp (in German) http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en (in English) If you have problems with Perl, you might need to resolve them to get PNP working. A common problem is that your nagios binary might have been compiled with the embedded perl option enabled. As for special scripts, it's quite easy to find some in (for example) http//www.nagiosexchange.org or to write your own.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?
The biggest problem I have with OpenNMS and Zabbix is the reliance on SNMP. Most of the checks I do arent SNMP checks. What would be best is if the plugins for Nagios could be used on OpenNMS or Zabbix or another network monitor.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?
Oddly enough I'm a big advocate of using SNMP with Nagios. It leverages existing tools, and then plugins can suppliment the functionality. Also, managing NRPE etc in a large environment means additional software overhead. It is only suitable for LAN environments though. Just my $0.02.

In OpenNMS you should be able to use Nagios scripts as OpenNMS custom pollers. Bill Jacqmein wrote: The biggest problem I have with OpenNMS and Zabbix is the reliance on SNMP.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?
We like Cacti and use it a lot, but right now, mostly outside of Nagios. Anyone have procedures for using Cacti with Nagios collected RRDs? I've heard it's not difficult, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hi, You can use "exec" directive to have Nagios Plugins to be executed by Net-SNMP and retrieve output and return code by walking extTable[1] (extOutput and extResult, respectively).
