Hi, and welcome to nagios-users. > As I am a beginner in Nagios would like to know the few things about Nagios. > 1) How does nagios work and monitors the hosts ? In: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html The pages in the section "The Basics" will hopefully explain that quite well. If you decide Nagios is for you, but find the on-line documentation a bit daunting, the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth, published by No Starch Press is an excellent introduction and reference. > 2) Will it use any protocol ? Pretty much, yes. There are lots of plugins available for Nagios which use various protocols and if you can't find a plugin you need, it's usually fairly easy to write one. I hope that helps a little.
