Both Monarch and Fruity are web-based configuration management tools  
for Nagios.  Monarch (MONitor ARCHitecture) is integrated into  
GroundWork Open Source, which was released last month.  GroundWork  
"inherited" Fruity when Fruity developer Taylor Dondich joined  
GroundWork last year.

Why choose one over the other?

*  Monarch is probably the better choice for the experienced Nagios  
user: it has advanced features such as the ability to convert  
existing Nagios 1.x config files to 2.x.: http://sourceforge.net/ 
projects/monarch

*  Fruity is simpler to use, and is probably the better choice for  
the new Nagios user:  however, it only supports Nagios 1.x at the  
moment: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fruity

Both can be used stand-alone: that is, Monarch works with Nagios even  
if you choose not to implement the rest of GroundWork Open Source.
