I use mon. I tried Nagios several times and never went past the
equivalent of "Hello, world". Writing monitors and alerts for mon is
very simple, indeed while it seems incredibly complicated for Nagios.

I could summarize by saying that, for X-men, Nagios may be nice but
for ordinary human beings, mon is probably simpler.
