In all honesty, that is<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>in part thanks to the Icinga fork, which has sparked a flurry of activity<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>within the Nagios developer community.<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> <o:p></o:p></pre> <tt>And also popping up many community based sites, beside the existing ones. Not that bad, but a bit misleading for new users imho. But let's see how it resolves in a bit.</tt> <tt>Hopefully Nagios will be on GIT soon to merge knowledge from both projects together. Dunno what plans are going on concerning the NDO and other similar core parts but I think there's much potential to share ideas and kniowledge between Nagios and Icinga.</tt> <o:p></o:p> <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre> <pre>First of all, we'll be releasing 3.1.1 soon, containing a plethora of<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>bug- and performance fixes. Ethan's working on automating the release<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>process so that Ton and I can cut releases without having to update a<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>bunch of webpages, sourceforge downloads area, documentation, etc, etc.<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>3.1.1 will be the first live test of that automated process. If it drags<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>out another week or so though, we'll probably just go ahead and do it<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>manually anyway, as 3.1.1 really has a lot of important fixes that the<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>Nagios users really should get their hands on.<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> <o:p></o:p></pre> <tt>It would be great to mention that all even releases are stable while odd remains testing. On nagios.org 3.1.0 is only mentioned as "latest version" and after clicking the download link it is marked as testing - bit confusing, but not really a problem for experienced users.</tt> <o:p></o:p> <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre> <pre>Nagios will get a new GUI, dubbed "Ninja" sometime during or after the<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>summer. Ninja is available for download already and is "usable but has<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>some warts and is still incomplete" according to Ninja maintainer Per<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>Åsberg. You can find out more about it at<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.op5.org/community/projects/ninja">http://www.op5.org/community/projects/ninja</a>. This was announced at the<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>Nordic Meet on Nagios which was held in Stockholm just last week. Note<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>that it's not necessarily easy to install yet as it's still a work in<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>progress. Bug-reports or enhancement requests are ofcourse very welcome,<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>and documentation patches for the installation procedures even more so.<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> <o:p></o:p></pre> <tt>By announcing Ninja as new GUI, the rumors get into Merlin for DB usage. I've read several posts about that but my question is, how far would that be realistic? For what I know Merlin uses the libdbi (just as modified IDOUtils for Icinga) so it would be possible to use different db types. Are there any plans to realize that? :-)</tt> <tt>Kind regards,</tt> <tt>Michael</tt> <o:p></o:p> <pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>DI (FH) Michael Friedrich<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:michael.friedrich@univie.ac.at">michael.friedrich@univie.ac.at</a><o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>Tel: +43 1 4277 14359<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre> <pre>Vienna University Computer Center<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>Universitaetsstrasse 7 <o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>A-1010 Vienna, Austria <o:p></o:p></pre> </div> </div> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects">http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects</a></pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null</pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:michael.friedrich@univie.ac.at">michael.friedrich@univie.ac.at</a> Tel: +43 1 4277 14359 Vienna University Computer Center Universitaetsstrasse 7 A-1010 Vienna, Austria </pre> </body> </html>
