A lot of people complain about managing the configuration files, so Opsview provides a web front end to do this: http://opsview.org/about A lot of people want a distributed setup, so we make that easy to do and maintain: http://opsview.org/distributedmonitoring A lot of people want the integration with NDO, so we've invested time in that: http://opsview.org/architecture A lot of people want a view on all their host and services in a hierarchical fashion, so we've got one: http://opsview.org/hostgrouphierarchy A lot of people want a big screen showing the status of a few items: http://opsview.org/viewports So yes, it is a wrapper to Nagios, because Nagios is the world's most popular monitoring system and it would be silly of us to re-rewrite that. But I think Opsview gives a lot more above it. And we give a lot back to this project too: http://altinity.org. > Addons > like Nagvis work with it (or is Nagvis unnecessary?)? You can use Nagvis. In fact, one of our contributors, Jose Luis Martinez at Capside (http://opsview.org/contributors), has been doing some work on that. We hope to get it committed into our upcoming 2.12 release in February.
