JSendNSCA: Nagios Passive Checks in Java

Posted by resmo on June 4, 2009 under Java, Networking, OSS, Security

JSend NSCA [1] is a Java API and command line tool for sending Nagios [2] Passive Checks to the Nagios NSCA add on.

By using the JSend NSCA core API, you can easily integrate your Java applications into a Nagios monitored environment thereby notifying Nagios of problems and issues during the running of your application.

The Jsend NSCA CLI command line tool wraps the API and allows you to send passive checks from the command line.

Please consider: Nagios has been forked, so it is also known as Icinga.

OpenNMS: enterprise-grade network monitoring platform

Posted by resmo on March 17, 2009 under Java, Networking, OSS, Security

OpenNMS [1] is an enterprise-grade network monitoring platform developed under the open source software model. It consists of a community-supported, open-source project as well as an organization offering commercial services, training and support.

The full featured monitoring solution is written in Java and is released under GNU Public License. I used to use Nagios, but OpenNMS seems to be a Nagios killer. At least it is worth taking a deep breath. Get an impression on your own and try out the demo (username:demo password:demo).

In the current stable release technology preview series 1.7.0,  OpenNMS uses the Spring Framework (WP: Spring Framework) 2.5 and a RESTful Interface was added.
