Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to get Nagios running on a GFN, has anyone managed to do it yet, if so how does it run?
I was thinking that it would be a great little device to have some sort of monitoring tools on to monitor a home network and notify when the internet drops off, when things are still on when they should be off etc, any alternatives to Nagios?

It's in the aur and doesn't appear to be x86 binaries
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nagios/

yeah I saw it was in the AUR repo but wondered if anyone has had any luck with getting either nagios or an alternative working on a goflex. I guess because it is x86 there is no chance of getting nagios working on goflex

Ok, so I managed to get it to this state "/download/nagios/nagios-3.4.4-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz" but during the build of the package I get a bunch of errors like this '../common/macros.c:128:6: warning: variable ‘x’ .....'
I am still a newbie so I am good with google
but not so good with trouble shooting stuff like this.
Any ideas, or is there an alternative to nagios?

Well as long as it only states Warning, not error, it should build just fine.

Nagios is a very thick service to be tossing onto a little GFN for light home monitoring. Depending on what you're looking for I'd lean towards Cricket (Stat gathering) or Big Brother (Up/Down alerting) first.

Hey Kurlon,
Big Brother looks great, that is essentially what I am after, something to ping the devices on my home network and advise when things are up and down. I also monitor and manage a bunch of websites and would love to know when they go down for any reason so Big Brother sounds like a winner. The only thing is, it is not in AUR
Any other suggestions for a network state monitoring (up/down) with email alerting.
BTW, I can get nagios installed but the page doesn't display and I get this in the systemctl status:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@goflex_nagios ~]# systemctl status nagios.service

I know I shouldn't be installing this as root though I am on the road of learning and this is just on a USB drive that I can blat and start again when I prove that it can either be achieved or not

Ok.... Update...
Nagios actually runs really well on the GoFlex
My issue was that I forgot to install php-apache... duh.
So I have proven that Nagios, although an overkill for what I want, actually does run up nicely on the GoFlex with all of the base features working quite well. I even managed to get the monitoring working on the GoFlex
BUT, as mentioned, is an overkill for monitoring a home network but that aside... IT WORKS
Any other recommendations on an up/down monitoring tool with a nice little GUI would be greatly appreciated
