I've gone with Icinga2, so not a dramatic departure from Nagios, but
benefits from:
- me using a release from this year
- looking a lot nicer / easier to use than the ancient Nagios
version (no comment on modern Nagios; it's far too enterprisey to
even research)
- not user-visible but the configuration is completely different,
much easier to build from my databases, much easier to query since
its config goes into a database, and has a useful API.
I will drop you some details off-list so that you can have a preview
of it, although as I say for anything more complicated than ping
checks I haven't yet got further than users starting with 'h'. This
still comprises over 1,000 service checks.
Cheers,
Andy
