Download Nagios 3.0.4

The Nagios program allows you to monitor different parts of the network and services on your servers. It can monitor smtp, pop3, http and nntp services and resources such as processor load and disk usage, among others. When something happens that you want to be kept informed about, you can receive various notifications by mail or by pager. For more information, we refer you to this page and a bunch of screenshots is up this page to watch. The developers have released a new version with 3.0.4 as the version number.
