End of Week 1

So far for week one, it is safe to say that progress was made.

There was an OVM created to install Nagios Core onto it, and plug ins would be added for each specific task that it would be required to do. There was some confusion with the installation of Nagios Core at first, but with some help from Tom, I was able to install it. As stated from the previous post, there was a problem with accessing the web interface of Nagios once it was installed on the OVM, and it was indeed a firewall problem. The issue was fixed on Friday (June 5th 2015) and I was able to successfully able to access the Nagios Web interface.

The week one milestone can be said to be a success, and now the milestone for week 2 would be adding one projector onto the Nagios System to test it out. The projector in the Intern Room (RLC 102A) is a perfect candidate since it's already connected to the network via Ethernet, so it should give off an I.P. address. However, before going forward, there needs to be a decision about if the Department will be going with a paid version of Nagios, which already comes with an OVM with everything you would need. The paid edition also solves the issue of the annoying process of setting a Nagios system to do exactly what it is supposed to do.

Stay tuned for the next post to be updated about the process of the project for this internship with Manhattan College's ITS Department.
