Report from Nordic Meet On Nagios 2009

Last week I made a presentation of Ninja at the Nordic Meet On Nagios 2009 hosted by op5 in Stockholm, Sweden. The presentation received quite some attention and regarding from the number of questions afterwards, people were very interested and eager to hear about future plans and features.<br /><br />The agenda for my presentation was:<br /><ul><li>Background </li><li>Dependencies</li><li>Short on MVC</li><li>The Ninja API</li><li>Possible modifications</li><li>Add-on integration</li><li>Differences to todays CGI's</li><li>Live DEMO</li><li>Thoughts on the future (Low Hanging Fruit and such)</li></ul>The presentation lasted approximately 1 hr including questions etc and was broadcasted through Bambuser. It is still available from <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://nordicmeetonnagios.op5.org/">http://nordicmeetonnagios.op5.org/</a> and will soon be available from youtube as well.<br /><br />If you don't have the time to watch the entire presentation my slides are also available as a PDF: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://nordicmeetonnagios.op5.org/op5media/nmn2009/presentations/Per%20Asberg%20-%20The%20Ninja%20project%20-%20an%20alternative%20open%20source%20Nagios%20GUI.pdf">The Ninja project - an alternative open source Nagios GUI goes live</a><br /><br />After the presentation, Ethan Galstad, the Founder of Nagios who was was invited as a key speaker, raised the question if we (op5) would be interested in making Ninja the default Nagios GUI. Since one of our main goals was to create the leading Open Source web frontend for Nagios, the answer was rather given.<br /><br />Ethan and the community has created a fantastic and impressive piece of software that deserves a modern web GUI. It deserves attention and ideas from the large group of skilled web developers and designers out there and we strongly believe that Ninja could be the way to achieve this. Both me personally and everybody at op5 will be happy to make this contribution to the Nagios project.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9144504490896973295-3649441568428282865?l=ninja4nagios.blogspot.com'/></div>
