Using Nagios/Monit/Munin with Windows?

You will probably find it easier to run a second server running Linux than to shoe horn nagios and company into an environment that they were not developed for.

You will probably find it easier to run a second server running Linux than to shoe horn nagios and company into an environment that they were not developed for. If you do insist on trying to run them in Windows, and if you have lots and lots of problems, please resist the urge to badmouth these products when you have not used them as intended.

Rather than having an additional hardware server, you could use VMWare or VirtualBox for Windows, host a small Linux VM and install Nagios on it. It is pretty straight forward and the Nagios install is simple for DEB and RPM based distros (and others too presumably, but not sure). //Nicholas.

Coming from an all windows environment we had to "bite-the-bullet" and install linux on VMWare to run Munin and maby Nagios later on. The only issues we had was learning Linux.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
