Just wondering, why do you not recommend RH5 for centreon?

Chris,

Centreon is a very powerful addition to Nagios, so good that I have
managed to replace a large enterprise deployment of IBM Tivoli
monitoring with Nagios, but only by using Centreon, Nagios by itself
wouldn't have stood a chance.

I started using it from version 2.0 beta 4 and the doco was terrible or
non existent. I am currently using version 2.1 and the doco is still non
existent, but the wiki / forum support more than makes up for it. If you
compiled Nagios, nrpe, ndo and got it all working then you could easily
get Centreon working.

I work in IT for a moderately large bank in Australia who has recently
been taken over by a larger bank. The new IT top dog is an American who
used to run IT for a huge US aircraft manufacturer, he was impressed by
what he saw in our NOC / war room. It was Nagios3 front ended by
Centreon with management eye candy provided by NagVis, so I truly
believe it when I say it's worth the effort because I am in the middle
of doing it.

If you want more details the feel free to ask as I found a number of
traps in the beginning, eg, I don't recommend Redhat RHEL5 for the main
server that runs Centreon, I switched to Ubuntu 8.04 , but I still use
Redhat RHEL4 & 5 for the remote satellite Nagios servers.

Rgds,
Simon
