openITCOCKPIT

openITCOCKPIT is a leading open source monitoring framework based on Naemon (Nagios). In addition it integrates Checkmk and Prometheus. It also offers interfaces to Icinga2, PRTG and opManager to obtain status and performance from them.

openITCOCKPIT creates transparency by providing comprehensive monitoring of your entire IT landscape. Its modular design includes features such as reporting, event correlation and clustering capabilities – all in an intuitive web interface. And by using its supplied host and service templates, experienced administrators can save time and effort better placed in other areas. The supplied REST API makes it easy to connect to external systems.

With openITCOCKPIT, the classical division between monitoring and configuration is removed. After exporting the configuration to Naemon/Nagios, users can immediately see the status of the monitored hosts and services in the front end and then edit them directly.

Visualisation - Intelligent interface An absolutely unique and compelling feature of openITCOCKPIT is its combination of status and performance information from Nagios/Naemon with business functionalities such as reporting and event correlation. This allows openITCOCKPIT to monitor not only individual status activities, it can also monitor, evaluate and graphically represent IT services as well.

Via the graphical management console, users can intuitively access all data and evaluations. Graphs, maps, dashboards, and much more functions help users and admins to detect problems. And through the integration of Check_MK and NMAP, openITCOCKPIT provides an interface for the simple and automated recording of new services.

    You can take look at openITCOCKPIT. It uses Naemon under the hood (fork of Nagios Core). It has a notification command for Pushover.net.
