Nagios on Pi

Here's a nice tutorial on how to get Nagios running on a Raspberry PI. I used a Pi3 and didn't have any trouble. 

I don't have a lot of devices to monitor inside my little network but it's interesting to see how to add things to Nagios and why there seem to be so many "front ends" built for Nagios management. 

I have yet to figure out Windows system monitoring and whether or not it's worth it to add things like my router and modem. I'd also like to add some external websites and see what features are available for cloud hosting. Fun stuff.
