Nagios VS LibreNMS

I've used this opportunity to look at some recent init files.

Here's one of the first I stumbled upon.

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/...

It's 288 lines long; the LSB dependency nonsense is 8 lines of that.

Then I looked up one for Postgres;

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Lsb_conforming_init_script

This one is a whooping 356 lines long, LSB is again about 10 lines long, depending whether you count the header or not.

I don't think the "LSB dependency" argument holds water.

wget -O nagioscore.tar.gz https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/archive/nagios-4.4.12.tar.gz

Might be this bug? https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/issues/861

As far as i know there is no option to log all executed service checks except the debug log. Probably you are looking for log_service_retries=1 ?

Bug report is over here

I playing with LibreNMS in my lab, just for the heck of it.

git clone https://github.com/librenms/librenms.git

LibreNMS is awesome! It's a fork of Observium, but has a more "friendly" development philosophy—there's some history there.

- NMS / NPM: NetXMS, Zabbix, LibreNMS, PRTG - NCM, updates, automation: Unimus - IaC / automation: Ansible - DCIM / IPAM: NetBox - IPAM / DDI: Infoblox

However, you can try your luck with a more "all-in-one" like LibreNMS that includes a lot of stuff and quite an amount of integrations (like sflow, snmp, checkmk, etc...) which is probably what you're looking (the all in a single screen)

take a look at snmp and librenms https://www.librenms.org/ I have been using this for years and it has never let me down. You can even then import data into Grafana if you want.
