Macworld’s buying advice
If you are running Nagios on your network, have an iPhone or iPod touch, and need to be able to talk to Nagios from those devices, iNag is a no-brainer.
-----------------------------------------
* NOW SUPPORTS MULTI SERVER MANAGEMENT
iNag is a iPhone application that allows you to view your Nagios monitored network from anywhere, iNag allows you to acknowledge host and services problems right from your phone. Daily event logs are also viewable using a fast and secure method that does not require you to open your Nagios installation to the world.
iNags unique conduit approach makes it very fast, no matter if you're using Edge/3G or WiFi, iNag can download a typical 300+ service network in less than 10 seconds. Unlike the screen scraping, or web based approach iNag does not require you to open your entire Nagios system to the world, iNag comes with an open source php script that can be put on any web server and supports SSL and web based authentication, the iNag conduit script "inag.php" also has a built in authentication mechanism for added security.
iNag has also been proven to work with all major versions of Nagios. iNag also works with Icinga, Centreon, Oreion, Monarch, GroundWork, and will work will all other application that use Nagios for it's back end.

Freedom!
First off, I love this app. I'll get to that.
Set up on the iPhone is a bit tricky, I configured the settings->iNag server/user/pass/key/URL etc but when I launched the app it took me to the default server which timed out twice. The settings button (Tactical menu, gear shaped, upper left hand corner) in iNag is unavailable during that period and when it did load it was the test data for iNag. Whoa! These 'aint my servers! Once I was able to hit the gear button and configure for my server all was well. Wait for it to time out folks, then add/configure. Select it, refresh, all you can eat.
On top of that we have a situation where the nagios monitoring server isn't open to the public. I set up a cron job to scp nagios.log and status.dat once a minute every minute (RSA keys exchanged) to a machine that is- boom, off and running.
Thank you John Fullington. You've cut the chains that bind me.
Best $15 bucks I've ever spent. I owe you a whiskey and a steak dude.
Great app
Excellent app! If you run Nagios, you need this!
Disappointed app
It should be availble thru port 80, or at least helps to setup email notifications. This app doesnt work if you plan to use in a corporate environment. From the admin of iNag, VPN to corporate's network is the only options. Then, how would I know if there are some problems when I'm not on vpn on my iPhone all the time. Fraustrating $15 apps do not worth it. Dont see any better than Nagios's default email notification. I was really hoping this app would be still working and alerting me if network is down but no luck. Feel regret even though I spent company money to buy this apps.
