Download Nagios 3.0rc2

With the program Nagios you can monitor different parts of the network and the services on your servers. It can monitor smtp, pop3, http and nntp services and host resources such as processor load and disk usage, among others. When something happens that you want to be kept informed about, you can set different notifications that can then be delivered 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.
