        I used the FAN version of Nagios and had a customized dashboard. If you check out my project on SW it shows a couple of the dashboards I had made but it's so flexible you can do whatever you want with it.

            Does FAN also support taking in log files from other devices? I'd like to get something like that going but I need it to take in our firewall logs and everything else.

              That's what ELK is for.

                Sigh, was hoping there was something more straight forward 😛

                Ah well, it'd be a good project for me.

                    Agreed, put the clients in whatever templates you have setup and you just need to remember to add new stuff to the server. Simple, fast, easy. Speaking of which, I realized the Zentyal client is not on my latest template... time to update that.

                      FAN is just a linux server with Nagios, Centreon, and Nagvis installed so you could add in whatever other package you need I would guess as long as its all compatible. Nagvis is where I designed my dashboards and I'm sure it can pull info from anywhere. FAN is just a precompiled collection of software that is supposed to be easy to set up.

                        I can already tell, my boss is leaning towards PTRG because it's so "the most mainstream one, it's not cheap though."
                        Does anyone have experience or know of anyone who has used PTRG?

                          PRTG is great but I never used it past the 100 free sensors. Does it take in the log files for you?

                            PRTG is mainstream? I don't think anything is as mainstream as Nagios. PRTG seems, to me, to be behind Nagios, Zabbix and Zenoss as far as being mainstream.

                              PRTG is "mainstream" because it's easy to set up and they have had a big marketing push lately. But I don't feel it's as customizeable as Nagios

                                  @lhatsynot Ohhhhhh I see, I've never heard of it until my boss mentioned it. Now Nagios sure, who hasn't heard of Nagios? 🙂

                                    Yeah, I feel like "mainstream" is weird for it. This isn't even their core audience and the project doesn't seem that widely used. Not small, but I've never seen an SMB that paid for it and never seen an enterprise that looked at it. Very much a medium player in the medium sized company market, I think.

                                      I think Nagios is the leader here.

                                        Tons of people haven't heard of Nagios but you'd be surprised how many of these monitoring solutions use Nagios as their underlying system. Also I bet your boss hasn't heard of Nagios unless he really did work his way up from a hands on sysadmin.

                                          Nagios XI is pricey but it's even easier than FAN to set up. I used the demo and it was unbelievably easy (like my one year old daughter could do it). BUT, the price tag may be too much.

                                            I use PRTG for all network monitoring/logging and they have tons of customization options for dashboard views.
