What is openITCOCKPIT?

openITCOCKPIT is an Open Source system monitoring tool build for different monitoring engines like Nagios or Naemon.

So easy that everyone can use it: create your entire monitoring configuration with a few clicks due to our smart interface wirtten in PHP

System requirements

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64
• 2 CPU cores
• 2 GB RAM
• 15 GB space

Production system sizing

Unfortunately there is no golden rule for the right sizing of a monitoring system. This depends on the amount of hosts and services you like to monitor.

Please keep in mind that a monitoring system usually will create more I/O than your KVM farm!

A rough guide:

• 32 GB RAM
• 16 CPU Cores
• 500GB space

openITCOCKPIT runs on Ubuntu systems and is available in the package manager apt.
