Even though I never have figured out how to pronounce it (whether it’s a hard-g or more of a ‘j’ sound), I do really like the Nagios project. I just don’t like the crazy configuration sometimes. Today I hooked up NRPE, a remote-execution plugin for some servers and everything went fine until I had to build the NRPE for a 64-bit server. Getting it to run right with SSL was a pain, but I finally figured it out and am quite happy now.
All that so I get a warning when any disk partition drops below 20% free space. Seems like a lot of work, but I know it will pay off in the long run.
