CoffeeSaint

CoffeeSaint is a fully customizable Nagios status viewer. It grabs the status from a Nagios server and displays it in a fullscreen GUI. It is written in Java so it should run on all platforms (tested on Linux, AIX 6.1 and windows xp) capable of running Java 5. For compiling with GCJ you need at least version 4.4.5 of GCJ. It also runs fine with OpenJDK version 1.6.0 (and probably later). CoffeeSaint is compatible with Nagios version 1, 2, 3 and xi. It also works fine with Groundwork.

Main features

• Handles all Nagios versions
• Can retrieve remotely Nagios statuses (several methods)
• Can play a sound if the status goes to error
• Written in Java so should run on all systems (linux, microsoft windows, apple mac)
• Font/font size/background color/number of rows displayed are configurable
• Uses "least squares estimate" to predict error count
• Can show the status of multiple Nagios servers in one screen
• Sort-order fully configurable
• Can run in fullscreen mode - can also span multiple screens
• Can prioritize configurable hosts/services (using regular expression patterns)
• Can filter hosts/services

CoffeeSaint has been tested with a setup of 800 hosts and 5600 services.
