Nagios is a host and service monitor designed
to alert a facility to network problems before clients, end-users or
managers complain. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on
hosts and services specified using external "plugins," which return
status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon
can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of
different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.).
A Wiki is a type of computer software that
allows users to easily create, edit and link web pages. Wikis are often
used to create collaborative websites and power community websites, and
are increasingly being installed by businesses to provide affordable and
effective intranets or for use in knowledge management.
