  Just a quick update. There is a website about Thruk (www.thruk.org) with a few screenshots and documentation. Then Thruk supports themes which the user can change on the fly....

  Yes, maybe i have to change that name. I misspell it sometimes too. The reason, why there is no website for thruk yet, is that thruk is not yet finished in a way i want to release it. I want...

  Maybe a Perl re-write of Nagios then? You can use Inline::C and/or XS if you need the speed. I think Python has similar stuff.

  A Perl rewrite is only valuable if it leverages the Perl community, and if it has an interface comfortable and marketable enough. The current interface of Nagios was more marketable years back when ugly was thought of as "simple" and "possible". Today it's an obstruction.

  
  There is at least one company that I know that is rewriting Nagios in Perl using (my) POE::Component::OpenSSH. However, I don't think it will be released to the public, unfortunately. Either way, I don't think it does or will have XS pieces to speed up some stuff.

  Hi,

  I'm the Shinken main dev. I don't think svn->git is the major problem of Nagios. Even core dev do not want to touch the Nagios core. When you propose to add a process pool (less fork) or bypass the reaping process with socket return(no more flat file reaping, big perf boost) they say : "too difficult".
  Is it so difficult? In C, it is not trivial. Just look at Apache code for the process pool. The socket return? You need to make the protocol, the serialization of checks and the socket management (this part is not so difficult in fact).
  
  
  Look at Python or Pe…

  I actually replied to this by email (since I received the comment first by email), but I'll recap the main points here:

  
  You certainly gave me a new insight into the need of rewriting Nagios core. Perhaps I don't see the immediate necessity of it as you do, but I definitely understand better why it is so important for people.

  
  Regarding performance, I do think that generally C has better performance (even though you shouldn't convert Perl to C[1]), but like you I personally write in a very high level language (Perl specifically) because the writing and maintenance…

  Thanks!

  How old is this website? I'm assuming it's brand new since I didn't find it before.
