Nagios Deployment

[Shane Killian]

Hi all,

I'n planning a nagios deployment at the moment but I am new to Nagios and would like to confirm that it has the features I require.

I've used Nagios in the past but have never set it up from scratch. I've also been playing with Lilac over the last couple of days but I think a "Nagios only" install is the way to go.

I will be deploying on Ubuntu server and I need to monitor about 100 Windows Servers and 25 Ubuntu/CentOS boxes.

Services that I need to monitor:

Exchange 2007
SQL Server
MDaemon
OpenX and the the usual.

What is the easiest way to go about doing this?

I would also like to monito email be sending a mail to an "echo" address and then checking for a response.

I've read a reasonable amount of documentation and learned a little from trial and error but if someone could. Point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.


Thanks


Shane
