Gee, since you were so welcoming on a 1st post, I can't resist to reply as well.
So comparing nagios and observium is like Word and Lotus 123 huh, Word is a word processor and Lotus 123 is a spreadsheet app, completely different application uses.
But by definition; Nagios is a popular open source computer system and network monitoring software application. Observium is a PHP/MySQL-based Network Observation and Monitoring System
Looks pretty similar to me! As for alerts, is this something that is on the drawing board? Up/Down I would assume is part of monitoring IMO.
As for the "No idea what I'm talking about", well looking at all devices there is a grey box with items to search for. There is a link that says 'Remove Search'. The link points to a devices/format=list_detail/searchbar=hide/. I would like to see if there was a way to completely remove (or permanently hide) that search bar.
Hope that helps in the 2nd description.

So I have nagios running smooth for one company and working with another was introduced to observium. Interface is excellent, but I have 2 questions.
First mistake is trying to compare Nagios and Observium. You're basically trying to compare MS Word and Lotus 1-2-3.
- Alerts. I had a dev box hit around 97% disk space with no notice.
So there is an alerts tab, but I don't see how to configure alerts, thresholds, etc. Looking at the wiki (http://observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Simple_API_Settings) I do see some things, but no simple [add alert] type thing, so is there something I can read, etc. as I continue to play?
We don't do alerting. There is some *old* code in there which sends out some alerts that have been useful at points in the past, but Observium is not currently capable of replacing an up/down alerting application like Nagios or similar.
- Search header. The one I was shown before I did the install had
the company logo (I see where to change that, colors, etc.) but they had the searchbar just not there (and I can see why). I can click the [hide] but I would like to completely remove it, but don't see where/how to accomplish.
No idea what you're talking about!
