gotta admit, i didn't know about opsview until i saw this post ... looks pretty cool and seems like it adds some slightly more robust elements into nagios (like backend db). i'm curious to to hear people's opinions here ... is the backend DB really needed? one thing I REALLY like about Opsview is the check_timeperiod_command patch (<a href="http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2007/04/changing_a_serv.html">http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2007/04/changing_a_serv.html </a>) ... i need to alter my thresholds based on time and would prefer not to have duplicate service checks ... so, any opsview users out there? <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 25, 2008 7:50 AM, Brian Loe < <a href="mailto:knobdy@gmail.com">knobdy@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">what's the view on Opsview? Is it just, more or less, a wrapper for Nagios? Easier or more difficult to manage than plane Nagios? Addons like Nagvis work with it (or is Nagvis unnecessary?)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
