Nagios is simple after you invest the time to learn how it thinks, it's
just a pain in the ass on Mandrake 10, at least on one installation of
Mandrake 10 that I know of, and I'm apparently the only person in the
world to have that issue... but that a subject for a whole thread all by
it's lonesome:)

Well you could have always put up a win2K server running whatsup gold,
provided you fell suicidal and are into S&M all at the same time, NTM if
you have the urge to spend a ton of cash on a program that isn't all
that, but I can't say it's not functional, but I can say it costs too
much for what you get...

This does look cool, I will have to dl and install it and see how it
goes, and it's got to be less time to learn than Nagios... The samples
they have up seem like it's light and to the point and not a lot of
fluff which is a good thing...
