I have used Nagios for many years, ever since before it was called
Nagios. It's my preferred open-source monitoring solution.
I've also put a lot of time over the years into looking for GUI
interface options for Nagios. I, myself, live all day in VI, and I
rarely even have X11 installed on my servers. But for others I work
with, novice-friendly web interfaces can be real nice.
That being said, I like what Groundwork has done a lot. I only
discovered what they were doing in the last 6-12 months. Before that, I
was generally not satisfied with the quality and features of Nagios GUI
options.
I've been using the open-source version of Groundwork's package, the
latest stable version. (4.5.11, I believe) It made it VERY easy to set
up a new server and install all required software. (One big RPM
package, mainly)
I was also greatly impressed with the quality of the GUI itself. It
seems to give easier options for setting up some things, as well as
nicer security access options.
I highly recommend anyone trying to set up Nagios consider the
open-source Groundwork package. For Nagios veterans, well, I'd probably
still recommend it about as highly! ;)
Is anyone using GroundWork Foundation (

Not familiar with the Foundation stuff, no.
