0. Stop Nagios

We glad to announce a new project called OpCp.
OpCp is a capacity planning for Nagios that generates performance graphics like CPU Load, Network Load, Processes and any other metric from collected performance data storage in MySQL (opdb). A important fact is that, OpCp, does not uses rrdtool, (at moment, we use jpGraph), so the graphics are not summarized.

We are releasing a new version of OpDB Nagios Broker. The main goal behind this release is to provide Host Group services support(services configured directly under Host Group definitions are now fully integrated with OpCFG configuration utility), once this feature was not supported by version 1.0 the users are strongly encouraged to migrate as soon as possible.

Next week we'll post a paper describing OpDB's OpPerf database structure, allowing volunteers to join us in development of new Nagios modules using the collected data.
So, go to Download session above and get this release, try-it and report your valuable experiences, doing this you'll help us to keep growing Open Source based solutions.

OpServices Development Team.

Hi all,

I'm glad and proud to announce this new version of OpCfg. Since we opened our projects to the community ( just a week ago ), we have received a lot of e-mails with suggestions and ideas to improve and increase OpCfg's functionalities. Of course, also we received some bugs to fix :)

Below, a list with the changelog:

* Added support to service inheritance from hostgroup.
* Minor fixes on import/export process.

Thanks to Ralf Kirms, Mike (navm77) and Michael Hoidys from opmon.org mailing list.

We have been doing improvements in many open source projects, specially on Nagios related code, and sometimes it's not so easy to have these codes merged into main trunk. This is normal, because each project has your own ecosystem, own rules and some radical improvements may take much time before it can be accepted.

Here, at OpMon.org we want to share this work with you.

Get in touch, contribute, report a bug and share your needs with us.
