CNM Nagios (hereinafter, the Soft) is the monitoring tool of CNM Cloud that is built with Nagios.

Monitoring network services using Nagios A monitoring system is a system that constantly monitors a computer network, searches for slow or faulty systems and, when failures are detected, reports them to the network administrator using mail, SMS or other means of notification. The purpose of server monitoring is:

- reduction of production costs in the IT sector - increased work productivity - maintaining the customer base • improving the quality of life of the system administrator • assistance in network bandwidth planning

Nagios is an open source computer system and network monitoring program. It is intended for monitoring, monitoring the status of computing nodes and services, notifies the administrator if any of the services stop (or resume) their work.

The possibilities of Nagios are very wide. This system can:

- Monitor network services (SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP, ICMP, SNMP). • Monitor the status of hosts (CPU usage, disk usage, system logs) in most network operating systems. • Simple architecture of extension modules (plugins) allows using any the programming language of choice (Shell, C++, Perl, Python, PHP and others), it is easy to develop your own ways of checking services. • For messages to the system administrator, sending is supported a message in case of problems with the service or host (via mail, pager, SMS, or any other method defined by the user through the system module). - It is also possible to organize joint work of several monitoring systems in order to increase reliability and create a distributed monitoring system.

Development of the Soft occurs under the Nagios for CNM Farms project.
