So I just installed nagios on my server at work. I configured it to check our companies websites every 5-10 minutes. I even got a couple of the sites setup to check if it was able to log in via the web inject plugin. That’s not really that or earth shattering.
Things got interesting when I tweeted that I had installed nagios. A few hours later I was followed by Icinga. Icinga appears to be a competing source monitoring system. They seem to have a twitter bot that is search for the #nagios tag and then following anyone who mentions them. I find this a pretty clever way to market to new customers.
