Nagios is a monitoring and management system for hosts, services and networks.

Nagios' features include:

* Monitoring of network services (via TCP port, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP,
PING, etc.)
* Plugin interface to allow for user-developed service checks
* Contact notifications when problems occur and get resolved (via email,
pager, or user-defined method)
* Ability to define event handlers to be run during service or host events
(for proactive problem resolution)
* Web output (current status, notifications, problem history, log file, etc.)
Nagios was written in C and is designed to be easy to understand and modify to fit your own needs.

This is a metapackage which depends on the nagios core and the webfrontend

This package is the new version 3.x series of nagios, which replaced the 2.x versions.

Nagios is a replacement of the Netsaint project. It accepts and uses the previous Netsaint modules transparently.
