It has some great plugins for those sorts of applications.
JFFNMS is better at the graphing and trending, what I mean by this is Nagios will tell you the current value of something is X and alarm if X is bigger than your set-point. JFFNMS will continously gather X's and alarm if the average rate or value of X in the last 30 minutes is above a set-point. Extensions of Nagios can do graphs, JFFNMS can alarm right of a set-point, but it is neither each other's focus. SMTP, POP3, IMAP and HTTP and MySQL are all TCP pollers, so they will work with that, although not with any great level of granularity. I was going to write and advanced MySQL poller set one day when I get bored. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
