As the subject notes, nagios is in fact shipped by RedHat. Details Description: Nagios is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your network. It has the ability to send email or page alerts when a problem arises and when a problem is resolved. Nagios is written in C and is designed to run under Linux (and some other *NIX variants) as a background process, intermittently running checks on various services that you specify.
The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs which return the status of the checks to Nagios. The plugins are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug. This package provides the core program, web interface, and documentation files for Nagios. Development files are built as a separate package. Arch: AMD64 Available Archs: AMD64 Available From: Red Hat HPC Solution (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Source RPM: nagios-2.12-6.1.el5.src.rpm MD5 Sum: 993fd4eb767f0981c662637a7f53a009 Package Size: 2,302,710 bytes Payload Size: 5,328,032 bytes Build Host: hs20-bc2-5.build.redhat.com Build Date: 10/12/09 7:39:15 AM PDT License: GPLv2 Group: Applications/System RPM Version: 4.4.2.3 The reason I wanted to bring this up is that we say in our policy that we do not ship packages that are shipped by RedHat in RHEL. But this being a subscription channel that is not extremely popular, do we want to revise that policy to say that we don't ship packages that are not in the base channel of desktop/workstation/server/ap as those are the most common or do we want to stick to the current policy quite strictly? Just food for thought, it was a topic of conversation in #rhel today. -AdamM -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
