Adaptable Monitoring Solutions for Quickly Realizing Value and ROI
Today’s digital businesses thrive on seamless and reliable IT Infrastructure, be it private clouds, public clouds, or on-prem Infrastructure powered by virtualization, containerization, or serverless. Organizations spend a lot of money, resources, and projects to ensure IT infrastructure and related services stay available and are fault tolerant to minimize business disruptions. Most of the time what we really need is an open mind and approach to problem solving by building, creating, or developing adaptable monitoring solutions powered by engineering, open source, and subscription-based models. With Nagios, digital and engineering organizations can stay ahead of the curve by embracing a lightweight framework that extends well beyond traditional monitoring and brings in a lot of value, flexibility, open frameworks, etc.

Leveraging the Nearly Infinite Flexibility of XI: Writing Simple DIY Plugins
People hear “write your own plugins” and it sounds intimidating, like you need to write a bunch of code, and you’d have to be a developer and pore over detailed specs and API charts and other esoterica. I’ll explain how to make a functional plugin very quickly, with minimal fuss. I’ll also explain how (and perhaps when) to go up a couple notches of fanciness.

The Power of Knowing Stuff
As a Technical Sales Engineer at Nagios Enterprises, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to many IT professionals about a myriad of different technical hurdles that need to be overcome for monitoring purposes. For example, have you ever heard of a data diode? Until a couple of years ago, I hadn’t. But I know how stuff works, so I was successfully able to understand the monitoring challenges faced and how to overcome them with Nagios XI. Come hear about some strange scenarios I’ve run into over the years and how we were able to brainstorm around them.
