System-Monitoring with Nagios


How many servers are you using in your production environment? And how many services are running on those? Are you annoyed if you need an end user to hear from the break down of one of your systems?

With system-monitoring you can safe time and money. You minimize downtimes by reacting more quickly in case of a problem. All administrators will be disburdened from routine tasks.

System-Monitoring

A system-monitoring system continiuosly monitors your hosts, services and networks components. As soon as a problem occurs one or more administrators will be notified, e.g. via:

  • Email
  • SMS (pager)
  • Web interface
  • Popup windows

At the same time statistics are being collected about the percentage of downtimes for each host and service, by which you can detect and optimize especially problematic components.

Nagios

Nagios is a free system-monitoring system running on Linux. It can monitor Windows, Unix, Linux and other OSes as well, however. Nagios is shipped with checks for a large number different types of services including free plugins for ORACLE and SAP R/3.

The installation and configuration of Nagios is done in a way typical for Linux. The system can be controlled via web browser (IE, Netscape and others).

Nagios can even be used for monitoring less known or self developed services. It offers a clean and simple way of developing and integrating own plugins for monitoring each conceivable type of service.

Reference projects

We help you introducing an all-embracing system-monitoring system based on Nagios. We also are willing to make you an offer with a fixed price. Because only open source software is used there will be no license costs.

Please feel free to ask us about successful Nagios introduction projects, e.g. at DaimlerChrysler, the "Kommunalen Versorgungskassen für Westfalen-Lippe" or the police Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony)!
