JumpBox for the Nagios 2.x Network Monitoring System 1.1.5

JumpBox for the Nagios 2.x Network Monitoring System 1.1.5 is created to be an Open Source host, service and network monitoring system which will watch your network and inform you to problems before your clients or end-users do.

A JumpBox packages an application's software, dependencies, and application data into a single virtual application that deploys locally, or hosted to major computing, virtualization, and cloud computing platforms. Swiftly deploy on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems to virtualization platforms like VMware, Xen, Parallels, Virtual Iron, Microsoft Virtualization, and Amazon EC2.

Major Features:

1. An intuitive user interface to quickly guide users through deployment.
2. A web-based control panel for simplified management of system functions.
3. A backup system that enables data security and portability.
4. Runs checks on hosts and services that you specify using plugins that return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered the system will send notifications to system administrators so that they can take action on the problem.
5. Gives you a head start to using the system.
6. Eliminates the complexity involved in getting the application installed and allows you to focus on the configuration for your specific environment. Since Nagios is based on plugins, depending on what you want to do this will vary in complexity.
