Summary

Nagios is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your

network. It has the ability to send email or page alerts when a

problem arises and when a problem is resolved. Nagios is written

in C and is designed to run under Linux (and some other *NIX

variants) as a background process, intermittently running checks

on various services that you specify.

The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs

which return the status of the checks to Nagios. The plugins are

available at https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins

This package provides the core program, web interface, and documentation

files for Nagios. Development files are built as a separate package.
