Nagstamon : Easy solution for connecting to Nagios based monitoring servers and checking the status of hosts and servers straight from the desktop
Nagstamon is a utility that can connect to several Nagios-based monitoring services in order to provide real-time details about the status of hosts and services. It supports server types such as Nagios, Icinga, Opsview, Centreon or Thruk.
Floating indicator, configuration panel
The actual interface of the application is a floating icon that shows an abridged version of the status, an expanded set of details being available at running the mouse over it. The status bar can be moved on the desktop to a suitable location so that it does not impede working on the computer.After setting up the connection to the monitoring server Nagstamon can be configured as far as the interval for pinging for details is concerned as well as customizing the appearance and behavior of the floating status bar.Additional configuration options include choosing the type of information that should be included in the report. Apart from clear details like down or unreachable host, unknown services or services on hosts in maintenance that can be filtered out, the application also makes available the possibility to use regular expressions for more creating a more complex rule set.The settings enable customization of the notification received for various events (warning, critical or down). As such, users can assign a different sound according to the event. Other alerts consist in flashing of the status bar.
Finally
For many administrators Nagstamon can prove to be a much more convenient monitoring solution than the plug-ins or web interface provided by the monitoring services. It takes little time to configure and access to the current status is easy to reach while notifications and alerts are visible straight from the desktop.
