Nagios Core Tests

Nagios is a host/service/network monitoring program written in C and released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. CGI programs are included to allow you to view the current status, history, etc via a web interface if you so desire.

Features

  • Monitoring of network services (via SMTP, POP3, HTTP, PING, etc).
  • Monitoring of host resources (processor load, disk usage, etc.).
  • A plugin interface to allow for user-developed service monitoring methods.
  • Ability to define network host hierarchy using "parent" hosts, allowing detection of and distinction between hosts that are down and those that are unreachable.
  • Notifications when problems occur and get resolved (via email, pager, or user-defined method).
  • Ability to define event handlers for proactive problem resolution.
  • Automatic log file rotation/archiving.
