<p dir="ltr">Arkadiusz was our resident Nagios expert, giving a fairly comprehensive overview at a meeting and subsequently at a couple of other lugs. I know he left Edinburgh but I'm not sure if he's still on the list. If so he'd certainly be the best to help. Or is someone is still in touch with him they could perhaps pass on the request for info.</p>
