This project provides an in-depth comparison of three leading network monitoring solutions: Nagios, Shinken, and Icinga. We examine their performance, usability, and scalability, while conducting extra feature testing for usability. With setbacks like power outages and hardware limitations, we've configured these tools within our environment and developed a deep familiarity with their capabilities. Aimed for completion this semester, we plan to enhance our infrastructure, upgrade to Atom servers, and implement virtualized clients to ensure robust network monitoring.

Overview • Comparison of Nagios, Shinken, and Icinga • Performance comparison of common features • Usability • Scalability • Extra feature testing for usability • Scoring procedures
Goals • Provide an in-depth analysis of the software. • Complete the project this semester.
Setbacks • Power Outages • Hardware • Support
Where we are now • Configuring the three programs for our environment • Familiarizing ourselves with each software • Working with Nagios, and Icinga to have a support contact • Contacting possible sponsors • Dell • Hardware companies
Shinken • 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 So Far • Custom built installer • Installs all dependencies, configures the system, and can install additional plug-ins. • Configuration • Complex, Nagios with Shinken mixed in • SkonfWebUI
Accomplishments • 12 clients • 4 for each product • 3 servers – RHEL • DELL 2650s • Software Suites Installed • Integrated WDS/PXE • Website
Where we are headed • Upgrade hardware • Atom Servers • Servers and clients • Virtualized clients if possible • Finish configuring • Customization of network monitoring systems • Remote network • Research and write scripts to run checks
