Exactly. "Hey use Zabbix" is something only people who have never used Zabbix would recommend.
Nagios, and a host of other popular software that's difficult to use, exist because the alternatives are so poor.
- seven 13y agoWould you mind to elaborate on your problems with Zabbix? We use it for a small ISP since nearly two years and are quite happy with it. All limitations that came up during integration could be fixed by writing some small scripts. Even upgrades worked.. :) So if you have any Zabbix pain that might be waiting for us, please share.
- viraptor 13y agoCan it be completely driven by some configuration management tool and run without persistent storage? These are two parts of nagios that make it work for me. Granted, I didn't look too far, but some basic research says you need a database and have to manage everything via GUI.
- seven 13y agoThe data is stored inside a relational database, which might become a problem in the future. They do offer an API that is quite usable. I've build a simplified interface for our less trained staff members with it. You won't find any RRD files which might be a problem for you. Until now that was only a theoretical problem for us.
- mordae 13y agoYea, you are right. On the other hand, you usually define the templates once and then it kinda works automatically via discovery.
