RES: Nagios in a large production network

[Sandro Merg Vaz]

James:

1) Nagios does not discover anything. You have to define each host you
want to monitor.
2) Handle SNMP traps is not the main target of Nagios, which works with
a plugin concept (even though it is posible, if you read de docs).

But if you look at the Nagios main page, section User Profiles
(http://www.nagios.org/userprofiles/), you may the there is a lot of
networks, of all sizes, which is using this solution.

HTH,

Sandro Vaz

Assunto: [Nagios-users] Nagios in a large production network


I'm looking to replace our current network monitoring software. Last I
looked at this product it was Netsaint, so it's been a little while.
I've downloaded the latest version, but I have a few questions. 

Is it "safe" to install Nagios on a production network and let it
discover everything? Are there any precautions I should be aware of? Can
Nagios collect and handle SNMP trap events? I don't see anything on the
web site about it. 

If not, can anyone recommend software to take care of that piece?

Thanks,
James
