Beside client management is monitoring one the central functions in a modern IT service management. With opsi you
got a client management tool. For monitoring tasks there are other well known open source solutions. So we build
for the monitoring tasks in opsi not an own monitoring tool but an interface to existing solutions. With this opsi
extension we provide a connector to Nagios.
In the following chapters the design and configuration of the opsi-Nagios-Connector is explained.
The opsi-Nagios-Connector isn’t strictly bound to Nagios. It is developed for the use with Nagios and Icinga. It should
also work with other Nagios derivatives but this is whether tested nor supported.
The scope of this manual is the design and configuration of the opsi-Nagios-Connector. It is not a Nagios manual.
You will need a running Nagios installation and the knowledge how to run Nagios.
20.2 Preconditions

This extension is at the moment a co-funding project which means that until the complete development costs are
payed by co-funders, they are only allowed to use by the co-funders or for evaluation purposes. If we have earned the
development cost we will give these modules for everybody for free.
