Subject: Scaling Nagios to monitor large heterogeneous enviroments
Presenters: Dr. Dave Blunt

The open source Nagios project has been in wide use for a number of years for monitoring of IT infrastructure. Learn how Nagios can be coupled with other open source tools for monitoring of large environments which contain a mix of operating systems and device types. A key aim of this talk is to prompt discussion of monitoring problems you face today and provide possible solutions using open source tools.
