Hello,
I used larousse sometime ago but its pending a fedora core upgrade. Someone also told me that this server will probably get removed, I am personally fine with it:
Nagios doesnt need a lot of cpu nor a lot of ram, so one of the small 512MB apaches will be fine (tingxi / rose ? ).
If larousse is not a choice, would it be possible to get one of the idle server to install nagios ?
Also I will most probably need root access to be able to install nagios or add me to a nagios group and add a /opt/nagios/ directory with write access to nagios group (that should be enough).
I coded a nagios plugin that pull data from gmetad and use a caching system to avoid hammering the gmetad server. The server on which nagios will run will need to be added in the trusted server list for gmetad.
cheers,

I might have lost track of the discussion at some point, but could you quickly reiterate what problem you're trying to solve with Nagios, and why Ganglia proper isn't a good fit if you intend to be collecting data from it?
Thanks,

Ganglia is for performance trends. Nagios is for monitoring events.

The metric collection changes in Ganglia 3.0.0 were made with the intention of adding a monitoring/alert mechanism to Ganglia mainline in the short-term future. But if you need a solution now, or plan to monitor events that Ganglia doesn't know about, then yes, Nagios makes good sense.
