NagVis
by lecyborg & 2 othersNagVis is a visualization addon for the well known network managment system Nagios.
NagVis can be used to visualize Nagios Data, e.g. to display IT processes like a mail system or a network infrastructure.
Key features are:

Display of single Hosts and Services
*
Visualize a complete Host- oder Servicegroup with one icon
*
Display the state of a Host dependent on the state of its services (“recognize services”)
*
Display only the real problems (“only_hard_states”)
*
Define Sub-Map icons wich represent a complete NagVis Map of Hosts/Services/Groups in one icon (drill down)
*
Visualization/Documentation of complete IT Processes and Infrastructures using self drawn graphics

Using Nagios to Monitor Networks
by lecyborgNagios is a powerful, modular network monitoring system that can be used to monitor many network services like smtp, http and dns on remote hosts. It also has support for snmp to allow you to check things like processor loads on routers and servers. I couldn't begin to cover all of the things that nagios can do in this article, so I'll just cover the basics to get you up and running.

NagiosVMA - VMTN Virtual Appliances
by camelNagiosVMA is virtual machine appliance that runs Nagios, a powerful, open-source application which performs host, service and network monitoring. Additionally, the appliance was enhanced with Groundwork Monitor Architect, an open-source, web-based, configuration tool for Nagios. It is intended to offer the end-user sophisticated network monitoring in minutes, instead of hours, (or even days) as is typical with building and configuring a Linux/Nagios host. Using Nagios combined with Monarch and Monarch's automatic host discovery feature, this virtual machine appliance can be booted, configured, and ready to monitor your network in as little as 10 minutes. (in fact, as soon as it boots, its already monitoring this virtual machine appliance!)
