Nagios Deployment

[michal.lackovic at cz.schneider-electric.com]

We run nagios on virtual Opensuse servers without any problems (ESX). All 
our monitored hosts are windows server 2003 or greater.
Before you are going to build an architecture for your own nagios 
implementation you have to select components - plugins, configuration 
tools and possibly alternate
web interface. This is a brief lists of the components we have 
implemented:

-Nagios 3.2.1 from source
-NSClient++ SSL
-NagiosQL for configuration
-Apache with SingleSignOn implemented 
-Customized menu for creating custom views and entries

All above mentioned components are part of "zero configuration build". 
Then the esx image is distributed to a data center where the team is 
trained to use NagiosQL interface only. Later then can maintain their 
infrastructure on their own.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Deployment






I use nagios on Ubuntu both 10.04 and 8.04.  I recommend installing
from source as it is much more stable and works better with the
plugins etc. than the default Ubuntu package.

Other than that since you look to be monitoring lots of windows hosts
i would suggest checking out wmi which was not too difficult to
install on Ubuntu 10.04LTS.
