Alerts are great, but automated remediation is even better. Nagios has had Event Handlers for years. Attend this talk to learn how Red Hat Ansible makes Nagios Event Handlers even better and solves some common issues with connections and authorization.
A detailed discussion of recent developments in commercial product offerings and community Open Source projects, as well as future development plans.
Senior Architect, NSClient++ Project
A status update of NSClient++ and what the future has in store for the popular Windows monitoring agent.
COO, EverWatch Global
Session will cover advanced XI configuration topics, including: getting a “command line” version of the GUI using the Nagios API (Medium), using the Nagios API to automate federation from a central Nagios XI server to Nagios Core “workers” (Advanced), and self-aware Nagios XI services with parameters defined in the service_description through the magic of shell-substitution.
This presentation will cover what it takes to become a successful Nagios reseller. This will be sort of an introductory “how to start a business” talk, but specific to “how to start a Nagios reseller business” talk. The talk will include things like basic business planning, understanding and defining your market, getting finances in order, sales planning and marketing, future growth, and how to integrate that with the Nagios Authorized Partner program to turn it into a great Nagios reseller business.
IT Infrastructure Monitoring Engineer, ASYNCDATA DO DOMINICANA
The presentation will cover an innovative Proof of Concept (PoC) showcasing how to leverage Go to expand the functionality of Nagios Core, including how to parse and analyze the data from Nagios Core to predict outages for hosts and services. Using advanced algorithms and historical data, we’ll uncover the probability percentages of recurring events, providing actionable insights for proactive IT management. Whether you’re an IT professional, developer, or system administrator, this session will inspire you with practical applications of Go for extending monitoring tools like Nagios Core.
Director of Cloud and Managed Services, IT Convergence
The presentation will cover an alternative method to gearman for performing distributed checks using nested checks by calling NCPA from within NCPA. Bonus topic: Using Ruby and Watir gem to scrap screen and monitor websites. Examples shown of monitoring Oracle Weblogic Adminserver.
Nagios Community Member
Presentation will cover how to containerize Nagios XI as a small footprint System Image that has many advantages to the Nagios XI developer. With some low-cost hardware you can build a fairly robust testing environment for your monitoring environment.
Senior Principal Engineer, Optum
Today’s digital businesses thrive on seamless and reliable IT Infrastructure, be it private clouds, public clouds, or on-prem Infrastructure powered by virtualization, containerization, or serverless. Organizations spend a lot of money, resources, and projects to ensure IT infrastructure and related services stay available and are fault tolerant to minimize business disruptions. Most of the time what we really need is an open mind and approach to problem solving by building, creating, or developing adaptable monitoring solutions powered by engineering, open source, and subscription-based models. With Nagios, digital and engineering organizations can stay ahead of the curve by embracing a lightweight framework that extends well beyond traditional monitoring and brings in a lot of value, flexibility, open frameworks, etc.
SysAdmin / CloudEngineer, DCMi.co
This presentation aims to explore how Ansible, a powerful automation tool, can simplify and enhance the deployment and management of Nagios monitoring systems. We will delve into the synergies between Nagios and Ansible, demonstrating how automation can lead to faster provisioning, consistent configurations, and reduced operational overhead. In this presentation, best practices for using Ansible to automate Nagios setups will be uncovered, including playbook creation, inventory management, and configuration management. By the end of this session, attendees will have a clear understanding of how to leverage these tools together to create a robust, automated monitoring solution that scales with organizational needs.
COO, Nagios
To Be Announced…
Technical Content Manager, Nagios
Covering each Nagios solution in summary, and the ways they work together to provide comprehensive infrastructure insight.
Technical Sales Engineer, Nagios
People hear “write your own plugins” and it sounds intimidating, like you need to write a bunch of code, and you’d have to be a developer and pore over detailed specs and API charts and other esoterica. I’ll explain how to make a functional plugin very quickly, with minimal fuss. I’ll also explain how (and perhaps when) to go up a couple notches of fanciness.
Technical Sales Engineer, Nagios
As a Technical Sales Engineer at Nagios Enterprises, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to many IT professionals about a myriad of different technical hurdles that need to be overcome for monitoring purposes. For example, have you ever heard of a data diode? Until a couple of years ago, I hadn’t. But I know how stuff works, so I was successfully able to understand the monitoring challenges faced and how to overcome them with Nagios XI. Come hear about some strange scenarios I’ve run into over the years and how we were able to brainstorm around them.
Senior LAMP Stack Developer, Nagios
Opensearch allows delegating specific roles in a cluster to particular nodes. As your data storage needs increase, it will become useful to have different node types for storing different data in the cluster. We will discuss the various node types, what they are used for, and the hardware requirements and tradeoffs of each.
Software Developer, Nagios
Nagios isn’t just for serious IT tasks—it can be for fun and games too! In this talk, you’ll discover how Nagios XI, Nagios Log Server, and NCPA/NRPE can be leveraged alongside several mods to notice and fix your performance problems before your players do and even help you automatically handle troublesome griefers without sweeping changes that hurt your honest players!
IT Specialist, Nagios
Understanding how to setup host/service groups can be critical for keeping your servers alive. This presentation will be an overview of creating Host/service groups and scheduling reports for those groups. If time permits, the presentation will demonstrate how a specific user can view only the Hosts and services tailored to their department.
Partner Marketing Manager, Nagios
