4: Nagios
Nagios (Figure D) is considered by
many to be the king of open source
network monitoring systems. Although
not the easiest tool to set up and
configure (you have to manually edit
configuration files), Nagios is incredibly
powerful. And even though the idea of
manual configuration might turn some
off, that setup actually makes Nagios
one of the most flexible network
monitors around. In the end, the vast
number of features Nagios offers is
simply unmatched. You can even set
up email, SMS, and printed paper
alerts!

What's wrong?
The only issue Nagios has is
that it does not auto-discover
devices. You will have to
configure each device you
want to monitor by creating a
configuration file for that
device.
