How secure using Nagios?
Hello Experts,
I have my windows servers located at different data-centers across US and I am monitoring all of them using Nagios server configured on a CentOS. All communications are done via public IP address and I doubt it can invite some security threats too. Can anyone let me know if it is already secure or there some additional security measures which I need to take care to make the entire operations more secure?
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Denor

If can, is there any website that provide comparison for both of them?
Ur help are highly appreciated..

What are the chances of getting a Nagios forum? The community is really lacking for a good place to work issues in Nagios. There just aren't any good places to go that I've found.

NAME
Nagios - network/systems status monitoring daemon
SYNOPSIS
nagios [-h] [-v] [-s] [-d] <main_config_file>
DESCRIPTION
nagios is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network accessible systems, devices, and more. For more information, please
consult the online documentation available at http://www.nagios.org, or on your nagios server's web page.
OPTIONS
main_config_file
The main configuration file. On openSUSE systems this defaults to /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
-h A helpful usage message
-v Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a basic verification/sanity check. Always make sure you verify your config
data before (re)starting Nagios. You can also use the Nagios init script to verify your configuration - try: rcnagios check_verbose
-s Shows projected/recommended check scheduling information based on the current data in the configuration files.
-d Starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process).
FILES
/etc/nagios
Default configuration directory for nagios
