Goals of Nagios Fusion
Central Viewing Dashboard
Data aggregation
Data visualization
Oversee both Core and XI Servers
Simplify distributed monitoring
No additional addons required
Easy and limitless scaling
Reduces *some* scaling challenges
User Customization
Build your own interface
2012 3
Scope: Central Viewing Dashboard
Don’t recreate what Nagios already does
Read only viewing
No checks, no alerts, no host/service reports
Summarize the data:
High-level viewing
Visualizations
Totals
Unhandled problems

Simplify Distributed Monitoring
Having more consolidated Nagios instances is not bad
Localized configuration management can be split by teams, geographic location, subnet, or even hostgroups
One broken server does not break them all
Simplifies scope of the individual Nagios server
No more boxes in use than with other methods:
1 Nagios + 3 Mod Gearman / DNX + 1 Ndoutils offloaded = 5 machines.
Works with vanilla XI or Core, no addons required.
Fusion has minimal hardware requirements
2012 5
Backend Polling
Fusion polls each Nagios instance at regular intervals
Minimal performance impact even with many users
Data is cached locally, UI uses local cache
2012 6
Fusion Users
Home Menu consists of user-defined dashboards
2012 7
Views Rotation
Views Rotation can rotate through any page in Fusion, child Nagios servers, or external sites.
