What is Nagios Cloud Hosting?

The Nagios Cloud hosting service offered through Steadfast Networks give you the ability to use a complete networking monitoring and alert system just for being a Cloud Platform customer. Nagios is a system that allows you to detect infrastructure problems before they affect your network. It can be configured to monitor all system components, including servers, hosts, switches, protocols, and applications. And its scalability makes it suitable for even the most complex setups.

Nagios works by sending you an alert when any component failure occurs – even a failure followed by a recovery. You can choose whether to receive alerts via email, SMS, or even a custom script. Nagios' instant delivery ensures that you'll be aware of all system issues with enough time to fix problems before they affect your end-users.

The included reporting suite keeps a detailed record of all issue notifications and responses for your review, with graphing plugins available for enhanced reporting capability. A wide variety of user-created plugins are also supported, due to Nagios' open-source design. With complete access to the source code made available by the developers, there's really no limit to the ways that Nagios can be customized!

Using Nagios to manage your system failure alerts is the proven way to detect system issues before they become problems. There's no better way to stay on top of infrastructure outages. Over 1 million users worldwide agree: Nagios is truly the industry standard when it comes to network monitoring.
