Nagios Version 3.4.4 Written in C Web Interface
Exfoliation Nagios Open Source
Free to useForum Support
Nagios XIUser InterfaceFrameworkEnterprise Support
Nagios (continued) Nagios Version 4
Not yet availableComplete rewrite
SupportCurrently unable to receive direct support
Nagios - Thoughts Simple
Could use more features Difficult to configure
Confusing configuration file layoutWould be better with a database as a
backend Stable
Lacks features but works well
Icinga Version 1.8.4 Modular Written in C Classic Web
Automated Apache integration Icinga-cmd group
Apache, Icinga user, etc Authentication
Icinga(continued) Check scripts run locally
Check_by_ssh Similar to Nagios Third party plugins/scripts
Embedded perl interpretation Config changes so far:
Check intervals
Icinga(continued) Windows integration Icinga 2.0 New Web
Icinga - Thoughts Quick Highly customizable Easy to install Not very independent, or a “Fork” Easy to change the installation
(modular) Third party scripts - simple
Shinken Version 1.2.3 Designed as a Nagios drop in
replacement that provides many of the features Nagios lacks by default
Written in Python Open source Very modular
Shinken - Thoughts Custom built installer
Installs all dependencies, configures the system, and can install additional plug-ins
ConfigurationComplex, Nagios with Shinken mixed inSkonf WebUI Beta
InterfaceLooks good, lacks functionality
Conclusion Nagios was the best over all
No major downsides, or upsides Shinken & Icinga tied in second.
Each strong in some areas, but weak in others
