hobbit.)
<snip>
What I like with Nagios which is neither in BB nor Hobbit
+ Service Dependencies (if MySQL is down, the Website is broken, too,
so report MySQL as the source of the problem)
+ Host Dependencies (if the router is down, it's clear that all hosts
behind must be down, too).
+ Event Hooks (good for connecting IRC Bots :-)
<snip>
(If anyone knows that features I mentioned as not available are though
available, please correct me. :-)
P.S.: I also had a short look at Pandora FMS (http://pandora.sf.net/),
but it seemed to be overkill for my purposes.
Kind regards, Axel Beckert
