OP5 Monitoring Programs

Open Source

OP5 Monitor has its roots in the open source world, and we continue to contribute to the open source movement by investing in both external and internal open source development projects. OP5 is a major contributor to the Nagios* as well as being one of the founding members of the Naemon project.

OP5 Monitor is Naemon and Nagios* compatible

Nagios* is one of the major projects in Open Source IT monitoring and the OP5 Monitor is 100% compatible with Nagios and Nagios compatible projects. In October of 2013 the Naemon project was launch. Naemon aims to be the next generation Nagios. OP5 Monitor is delivered as a “turnkey” solution that consists of hundreds of modules and plug-ins, all verified, quality tested and supported. Over 200 plug-ins are documented and shipped with OP5 Monitor.

We offer our users a product that combines the flexibility and freedom of open source with reliability and sustained support.

OP5 Monitor core

The source code of OP5 Monitor core is available to download from our git repository http://git.OP5.org/git/. The core consists of Nagios core complemented with our patches and additions. The code additions in OP5 Monitor core are sent upstreams to Naemon and to the main branch of the Nagios project.

  • Fast root cause identification and troubleshooting
  • Alerts and reporting capabilities
  • Trend analysis and failure prediction
  • Cross-platform server monitoring
  • Accurate server capacity planning
  • Able to handle large volumes of monitored devices and services
Virtual Monitoring

The use of virtualization platforms such as VMware, KVM and XEN creates new opportunities for IT operations, but also introduces new challenges. Usage of virtualization platforms requires control since potential problems can have serious consequences and have direct impact on business processes. Highly virtualized infrastructure requires a virtual monitoring solution that provides end to end visibility.

  • Virtual Monitoring Features –
  • Monitor VMware, KVM, Xen, RHEL and more

  • Root cause analysis reduce mean-time to repair and service disruptions
  • Seamless integration between physical and virtual infrastructure monitoring
  • Identify storage related performance bottlenecks impacting end users
  • Report and visualize data
  • Dynamic approach for planning upgrades
  • Proactive capacity planning
Cloud Monitoring

A public, private or hybrid cloud is nothing without proper cloud monitoring. Unified visibility, control, and awareness into your entire cloud infrastructure are required to handle cloud operations. OP5 Monitor provides you with insight into your cloud infrastructure and all data collected is displayed unified view.
