Ah yes, I'm looking forward to seeing that. :) Need beta testers? I will definitely need some when we make a release worthy of nanogers! I will make a post at that time.
Ah my bad, I did forget about Zabbix - one of my guys was just showing it off to me a few weeks ago, too. Does look good, I just don't see justification for replacing our nagios setups with it. My take would be that once configured both are similar. Nagios has a bit tougher configuration, and Zabbix is better looking. They are pretty much head to head in terms of features, and Nagios is a tad more popular. Nagios is primarily coded in C, when zabbix has some C but primarily PHP. But to your point they are both excellent, and there is no big reason to switch once you have one up, except for the sake of diversity....

I'm looking for open-source alternatives for network management, such as Nagios or Big Brother. I would add to the list the excellent zabbix, just ass popular as jjfnms http://www.zabbix.com/features.php
