I cant see that they have patched anything, at least not noticeably. All the command lines still accept the same functions, and I have been able to literally copy and paste my nagios configs in to Groundwork.
I agree that, for an open source company, they don't seem to be very open source, in that I don't seem to be able to compile groundwork for my system, instead using precompiled RPM's. Saying that, a lot of the groundwork functionality is available in segments from their site, though the documentation on getting these to function the same was as the finished Groundwork package is very poor...ie not there. About the only thing that I *REALLY* would like to see in Nagios, and that I would miss about not using Groundwork, is the status screens. One in particular is very good, and very simple too. The other status screens involve WAY too much clicking to get to any information of merit, but they are still much better than the Nagios ones. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ton Voon Sent: 07 June 2006 14:11 To: [email protected] Users Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and/or GroundWork On 7 Jun 2006, at 13:39, Oliver Marshall wrote: > Just curious as to what peoples opinions are really.

I haven't had a chance to look at Groundwork's software, so I can't really comment on their application. However, I would personally like Groundwork to contribute more to the community. I'm sure they must have patched Nagios and the Nagios Plugins for their own implementation and I'd like to see some more of those come back to us. While the GPL does not mandate it, it is in the best interests of the entire community if there is not just "take", but also a bit more "give".
