Set up Nagios monitoring of the ARM farm

Project Name

Set Up Nagios monitoring of the ARM farm

Project Description

"Nagios monitors your entire IT infrastructure to ensure systems, applications, services, and business processes are functioning properly. In the event of a failure, Nagios can alert technical staff of the problem, allowing them to begin remediation processes before outages affect business processes, end-users, or customers. With Nagios you'll never be left having to explain why a unseen infrastructure outage hurt your organization's bottom line. "

Setting up Nagios for the Fedora-ARM build farm will make it easier to get notification of system issues.
