Just goes to show that change is a constant in Open Source... If Nagios had been around when we wrote the book, I'm certain we would have looked at it instead. :-)
As the website states, Nagios is the descendant of Netsaint (Netsaint is dead, long live Netsaint), even to the point of supporting Netsaint plugins. I might have a stab at migrating my Netsaint installation to Nagios, and report how I progress... Ganglia looks *very* interesting, but on a whole other level... The monitor component looks similar to what Netsaint/Nagios provides, but I'm not sure it has the alerting and mapping features.
