Nagcat: a monitoring framework for Nagios

I am pleased to announce the first public release of Nagcat! This is a project I have been working on at ITA Software over the past several months for monitoring the complex applications we run. It is intended to be used with Nagios 3.x and is written in Python.

I just finished cutting the release and setting up its new project site and now I think it is time for a beer so this announcement is rather short. I'll be posting some HOWTOs and other information here in the future.

Hi,

You should look at Shinken too, it’s a enhanced Nagios reimplementation (in Python too ;) )that allow you to have a quick and easy distributed and high availability monitoring environment, and of course with Nagios configuration and plugins compatibility.

It's available (Open Source with a AGPL licence) at http://www.shinken-monitoring.org with even a demo virtual machine to test it in 5minutes.
