Nagios – Checking if we are on SPAM blacklists

What's up txabales!!! We come with something that can fit us all! Anyone who has a Nagios or Centreon environment already set up (or want to cheer up), Why don't we control if our public IPs or the IP addresses through which our organization's mail leaves are blacklisted?? So far we know how we found out that you are on blacklists… Why either the mail doesn't go out or doesn't come in?, No? Get ahead of the curve and check the main blacklists!!

Well, Well… Let's put a little more txitxa in our Nagios, Centreon or whatever we got, We will continue with something very interesting for those who want to monitor more advanced items!

Installing and integrating NagVis at Centreon

Let's start getting more out of monitoring, Something fun and enjoyable to watch, at least something different and it doesn't have to be as technical as it has been until now. We are going to integrate into our Nagios and/or Centreon a layer of visualization of interactive maps or drawings, it is nothing more than taking the monitored items to fully customized live drawings, are drawings of logical schemes, of photos of the DPC, SMTP traffic… of what our imagination gives us!
