OMD

OMD Labs-Edition brings monitoring cores, web interfaces, graphing tools, and plugins together in one RPM or DEB package. It integrates into your existing Linux system and provides a consistent way to install, run, and update your monitoring environment.

Why OMD?

• An integrated toolkit. Combine Nagios-compatible monitoring with tools from the Prometheus ecosystem. Naemon is the default monitoring core; the package catalogue describes the included components.
• Independent monitoring sites. Run multiple instances on one server, including sites using different OMD versions. Each site has its own user, configuration, and data, and can be managed independently.
• A consistent lifecycle. Use the same site management workflow to create, start, stop, back up, and update your monitoring instances.
