Ganglia is a performance monitoring system with an agent that is
extremely lightweight and extremely easy to deploy to large numbers of
hosts. A Ganglia installation can be deployed by doing little more than
installing the packages onto all the hosts, by default, they will all
find each other by multicast.
Nagios is an alerting system that monitors the state of services.
Ganglia graphs that state (e.g. disk use) but doesn't "know" anything
about thresholds.
ganglia-nagios-bridge brings the two systems together, taking the
metrics from Ganglia agents, applying thresholds, deciding when they are
in a bad state and mapping them to service definitions in Nagios.
Nagios can then display the network state, highlight hotspots and raise
notifications in the usual manner.
Using regular expressions in the ganglia-nagios-bridge config and the
nagios config files it is possible to enable alerting for thousands of
hosts very quickly, with less than 50 lines of config in total.
