Nagios Administration Tool as Webmin Module - a fork of NagMIN

NagMIN ® Copyright © 2003 - Fred Reimers

From my point of view NagMIN is the best configuration tool for Linux. Unfortunately the development looks like frozen. In the past I had also made changes on the source code to make NagMIN working with never versions of Nagios. After deciding to give Shinken a chance and looking around for other config tools I started this fork of NagMIN.

Because it look like there is no development over so many years I found it cool to name it as analogy of the movie 'Short Circuit' and the German title 'Nummer 5 lebt! ' or if you like it more to the table tennis rubber 'Yasaka Mark V'.

What are the main differences?

It works with newer versions of Nagios and Shinken!

• Other major changes are:
• History function
• Automatic backups
• Improved search because blob is changed to text
• Multiselect instead of standard select form

Advantages compared to other Nagios admin tools?

• Clear database structures
• Great search function
• All advantages that you get from Webmin integration

Disadvantages?

• Look and feel is not so eye candy
• Sometimes are problems with dependencies of tables

ToDo

• Improve usability
• More tests in production
