• Monitoring of network services (SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP, ICMP, SNMP, FTP, SSH)
• Monitoring of host resources (processor load, disk usage, system logs) on a majority of
network operating systems, including Microsoft Windows with the NSClient++ plugin or
Check_MK.
• Monitoring of anything else like probes (temperature, alarms...) which have the ability to
send collected data via a network to specifically written plugins
• Monitoring via remotely-run scripts via Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
• Remote monitoring supported through SSH or SSL encrypted tunnels.
• Simple plugin design that allows users to easily develop their own service checks
depending on needs, by using the tools of choice (shell scripts, C++, Perl, Ruby, Python,
PHP, C#, etc.)
• Plugins available for graphing of data (Nagiosgraph, Nagiosgrapher, PNP4Nagios, and
others available)
• Parallelized service checks available
• Ability to define network host hierarchy using "parent" hosts, allowing detection of and
distinction between hosts that are down and those that are unreachable
• Contact notifications when service or host problems occur and get resolved (via e-mail,
pager, SMS, or any user-defined method through plugin system)
• Ability to define event handlers to be run during service or host events for proactive
problem resolution
• Automatic log file rotation
• Support for implementing redundant monitoring hosts
• Optional web-interface for viewing current network status, notifications, problem history,
log files, etc.

Zabbix

Zabbix is a network management system computer applications program created by Alexei

Vladishev. It is designed to monitor and track the status of various network services, servers, and
other network hardware.

It uses MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite or Oracle to store data. Its backend is written in C and the
web frontend is written in PHP. Zabbix offers several monitoring options. Simple checks can
verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or HTTP without
installing any software on the monitored host. A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and
Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc. As an
alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP,
TCP and ICMP checks, IPMI and custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of real-time
notification mechanisms, including XMPP.
