Next TCLUG Meeting When: Saturday, May 4th, 2002, noon - 2pm Topic: Ethan Galstad will be talking about Nagios, formerly know as Netsaint. Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser. Where: University of Minnesota Room EE-CS 3-180 http://onestop.umn.edu/Maps/EECSci/index.html Hope to see you there! Also... Twin Cities Linux Users Group is proud to sponsor Doc Searls, Senior Editor, Linux Journal discussing "Why Linux Is Still The Best Operating System For Business" on Thursday, May 9th at the Strictly Business Solutions Expo in Minneapolis. Registration is FREE for Doc's keynote at http://www.StrictlyBusinessExpo.com anytime before the expo.
