Shinken is an open source Nagios® like tool, redesigned and rewritten from scratch. Its main goal is to meet today’s system monitoring requirements while still following compatibility to Nagios®

Just stop your Nagios® daemon, start the Shinken daemons, and you’re done!

How is this possible?

Shinken is a totally redesigned and rewritten Nagios®, but keeps full compatibility with it’s ancestor. This way, you can reuse your configuration, plugins and even webinterface.

You can monitor nearly everything in your IT, even end user apps! All is done through plugins (there are a lot of them!), and if you need to check something really specific from your environnement, you can create a new plugin just by writing a few lines of script!

See example of out of the box plugins

Classic network : HTTP(s), FTP, DNS
OS : Windows, GNU/Linux, HPUX, AIX
Network : Cisco, Nortel
Database : Oracle, Mysql, Mssql, DB2

Shinken is shipped as a program, but also as a virtual appliance with an already configured core, visualization tools like Thruk, Ninja, NagVis and tons of plugins !

And if you just start monitoring, you can use the discovery feature that allows you to start with all your servers, routers and switchs already configured for you !
