  Marc Spitzer on Nagios 
  
  6:30pm, Suspenders Restaurant 
  Nagios is a platform for monitoring services and the hosts they reside 
  on. It provides a reasonable tool for monitoring your network and you 
  can not beat the price. 
  
  We plan on covering the following topics: 
  # what it is 
  # how it works 
  # where to get it 
  # how to install it 
  # how to configure it 
  # how to customize it for your environment 
  # where the data is stored 
  # how to write a basic plug-in 
  
  About the Speaker 
  
  Marc Spitzer started as a VAX/VMS operator who taught himself some basic 
  scripting in DCL to help me remember how to do procedures that did not 
  come up enough to actually remember all the steps, this was in 1990. 
  Since then he has worked with HPUX, Solaris, Windows, Linux, and the 
  BSDs, FreeBSD being his favorite. He has held a variety of positions, 
  admin and engineering, where he has been able to introduce BSD into his 
  work place. He currently works for Columbia University as a Systems 
  Administrator. 
  
  He is a founding member of NYCBUG and LispNYC and on the board of 
  UNIGroup. 
  
  Most of his career has been building tools to solve operational 
  problems, with extra effort going to the ones that irritated him 
  personally. He takes a great deal of pride in not needing a budget to 
  solve most problems.
