Monitoring my network with NethServer

However, one of the main arguments for Zabbix and against most Nagios / iCinga and others:
It comes from one company, is in one release tarball. No dependencys on other projects or tools.

That’s right, but with OMD you have one installation package and get all the tools ready to work, including Grafana, NagVis etc.

The testing was clinched, when a test environment of Zabbix showed me an available Update on a 2010 Synology (Running only to make 2nd generation in house saves of the new Synology).

There is a plugin for OMD:

Synology status - Nagios Exchange

All Information and events are stored in a MySQL or MariaDB Database, so for backup you only need a Tarball of the current directory and the Database dump.

In OMD check_mk you have a nice web UI for making backups and you are able to roll back every action, you made…

I’m running Zabbix now in a vm on proxmox, but I prefer to have it integrated in Nethserver or whatever my clients are using

I’ll give it a try. I tested Zabbix long ago so I don’t know how it improved…
