Sadly, I didn't get the chance on OSMC 2009 because you both were missing.

Yep that's nice to hear, you mentioned that lately (I think it was on 
op5 lists).

I just wanted to extract the idea that there are a bunch of addons and 
plugins not maintained by nagios core devs or nagios enterprises. Those 
addons and plugins alltogether with the core will make a sysadmin happy.

So it's a community "product".

Ah yes I remember reading on op5 lists, sorry. But I was curious about 
those plans because in the first time it was announced as possible new 
features, then it was quiet, and then nagios xi popped up. So I wanted 
to ask about those plans, but I can also do that on op5 lists, would fit 
more.
People are starting to ask about Icinga+Merlin/Ninja btw ;-)

Hm, i just found out that there are moderators.

http://ideas.nagios.org/a/dtd/22035-3955
has been edited to "pending moderator approval" - so it does not pop up 
on the start page.

Seems to be a new idea for the "ideas" ...

Kind regards,
Michael
