Editor's Notes
- What Is Nagios? - Nagios is a suite of IT management tools that allows you to operate more efficiently by reducing downtime, minimizing security risks, and increasing effectiveness of your IT staff. So what does that mean? When problems occur on your network it can be difficult to track down. A server goes down, and you immediately have to spend time trying to find the problem. Now, IT staff are spending man-hours looking for the problem. Nagios solutions aim to minimize and even eliminate these man-hours spent finding problems. With Nagios solutions, IT staff can immediately begin fixing problems before they become large outages. IT managers, can rest easy knowing that their network is being monitored, and business owners can be assured that costly network outages can be resolved before they become catastrophes.
- -Is our flagship commercial network infrastructure monitoring solution. -Think about your network, or your business. By a show of hands, how many people have experienced a network outage, website crash, or other IT problem? Think about all the processes that take place on the network, or the business processes that are critical to have up and running all the time. Has anyone had everything work perfectly all the time? (laugh) We all know that's not the case. But what might be a bigger problem is having your customers, clients, and resellers tell you that something down on your site, or that they cannot access something hosted on your server, etc. That’s just embarrassing. That’s why you monitor your infrastructure and that’s why we created Nagios XI, so that the problems that do occur on your network, don’t cause embarrassing outages.
- In your network, or office, you have routers, switches, computers, printers, phones, the list goes on. All of these things are connected to each other. There are connections, bandwidth traffic, and information transactions that take place constantly, every day. So do you know which devices are talking the most? What is your regular bandwidth usage? Is your ISP meeting your contract and Service-Level agreements? How much data is being sent from your network each day? Is there a security threat leaking confidential information? You might not know the answers to these questions, but Nagios Network Analyzer can provide you with the answers. Network Analyzer can tell you exactly which devices are "talking", how much data, the number of packets. By monitoring your traffic sources, you can answer those questions and ultimately get to know your network, keep it secure, and ensure SLAs are being met.
- When problems occur in your infrastructure, someone needs to know about it. What if the people who are notified of the problem are responsible for telling other staff to fix the problem? Can you really rely on humans to physically tell another human? No. The fact of the matter is that it’s easy for incidents to get lost, and problems to be overlooked. That’s why integrating Nagios Incident Manager with Nagios XI is so important to your infrastructure. Incident manager can automatically generate tickets and tasks for helpdesk and other IT staff when problems are detected in Nagios XI
- - A log management and monitoring solution that provides centralized organization, archiving, policy compliance, and security log auditing in order to see exactly what actions are taking place on the network. Nagios Log Server provides users with an easy way to view and visualize log data while remaining organized and “in-the-know”.
