Shipping is a feature
The new server status page, which is a front end to a Nagios 3.0.6 installation, shipped today. As in, it went live on the work servers, and it’s now the primary view for the health of our servers. It’s been months of work, debugging and network discovery to get where we are today.
Some of the features that were planned for the 1.0 release didn’t make it. But, shipping is a feature, and it’s the most important one. The other important thing is I’ve spent a lot of time making sure that the architecture is sound, so we can scale out with more monitored devices, and up with richer tools and features.
