Nagios monitoring

[steve-glo]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to setup/install nagios monitoring software on linux server with all setting?

Thanks

Take a look at Zabbix. Way easier to distribute and configure

You’ll want to start by installing the necessary packages, and then configure your Nagios setup with the appropriate resources and hosts. If you need specific step-by-step guidance, let me know what version of Linux you’re using.

Agreed about Zabbix (even tho Zabbix is itself massive).

Other potentially simpler alternatives is Munin (tho alerting on it is poor) and Monit (with alerting being fairly primitive).

I built an entire platform of my just to _not_ run Nagios.

It may be 'massive', but it's very easy to work with. All I have to do is clone host X and change the IP / SSH macro. That's it. Everything is setup and ready to go for a new host

I so much want to change from our old nagios monitoring server to something newer. But just cannot seem to get myself to as I understand nagios so well and it "just works".

Maybe one day I will force myself to do it on a weekend.

We use UptimeRobot for external monitoring and Observium for internal monitoring. I remember the days of cacti and we used it. I knew people who use nagios, but haven't given it a good try personally.
