Opsview, a good monitor system base on Nagios

After studying Nagios a period of time, I met Opsview and really like it and want to share it for every body by post an article to this blog.

What is Opsview?
Opsview like Nagios with useful plugins with a nice web interface and easy to config and install.
Nagios is a powerful monitor system but Nagios Core (free) has a basic web interface, almost to read only, to config hosts or options, we need write to files an reload service, database base on text format. Nagios core can't do any think if it stand alone, we must install plugin for check, graph (pnp4nagios, nagiosgraph...) for show status display graphs ... And really hard for install, studying and training newbies.
Opsview Core free.

What can Opview do ?
Opsview is built with the following technologies:

• Nagios Core: Provides the core set of monitoring and alerting capabilities in Opsview. Sometimes referred to as Opsview's monitoring engine. Many plugin in Nagios is compatible with Opsview
• Nice web interface: comfortable, easy to use, easy to remember, easy to learn and traning
• MySQL: A relational database used for configuration, runtime and data warehouse databases
• RRDtool: Provides lightweight graphing
• More extend agent
