Hi all,
AFAIK Nagios development is pretty dead at the moment. It's community fork, Icinga, is gaining more popularity everyday. https://www.icinga.org/ It's 100% backwards compatible with Nagios at all levels (config files, nrpe & plugins, cgis, API...) and offers some interesting improvements like multiple monitors working together, fixes a lot of "historical" bugs and has a new and refurbished (PHP) web interface. So when you teach Icinga you're also teaching Nagios for free. In its newest versions, it supports configuration of hostnames with wildcards, so you can easily add all your farm to monitoring without needing to define every single server, neat, and more appropiate for our cloudy-world. Whenever the community-fork improves significantly the original product and/or the original isn't licensed GPL/Apache/Mozilla/BSD-alike... I'll probably vote for introducing the fork, leaving just awareness about the original product in the objectives. In this particular case, Icinga, no doubt ;) Regards, Kenneth A 2015-09-22 16:43, Donald Tevault escrigué: > Since Nagios is a learning objective for the LPI Level 3 Security > cert, I'm wondering if anyone has caught any flack from the Nagios > company about doing Nagios training.
