Shinken Overview

Shinken is an open source computer system and network monitoring software application compatible with Nagios. It's written in Python and therefore is able to run on all platforms where a Python interpreter is available.
In contrast to Nagios it is not a monolithic system. Shinken runs as a bunch of highly specialized processes, avoiding the bottlenecks of a single-process design. This parallelity allows to run Shinken not only on one single server. It's components can be distributed over a whole server farm, which results in incredible scalability.
Shinken is actively developed and already got more features than Nagios (like priorities for objects, business processes, auto-generation of services, discovery,...)
