Nagios - do you use it?

[Joedetic]

I'm doing it on ubuntu along with cacti at work. It's on Ubuntu because a team of people that are unfamiliar with linux are going to have to maintain it once I'm gone.

Btw I've had it running on FreeBSD at home :P It was running up until my server died actually lol

Did Nagios notify you about that :P

[Joedetic]

lol...funnily enough, no.

Do many people use Nagios for monitoring?

I probably should, but for some reason wound up writing my own monitoring application. I plan to move to Nagios / Cacti at some point, but for now my own system does everything I want it to.

It's got to be better then what most people use. Although it's v.effective, it is v.anti-proactive.

Q. How do you monitor if you have a network problem?

A. We have this advance piece of technology, it's rather popular. It's v.advanced. It's call a telephone. Whenever it rings, you have a problem with the network.
