Blue® was started as a personal decision to port the popular host and service monitor system Nagios® from C to Java. Project Blue will make available Blue Server, Blue Console, Blue Plugins and Blue Agent. It is the intention that each of the components will co-exist with all nagios components. Run Blue Server with the existing Nagios Console and Nagios Plugins (all combinations supported). By moving to a java platform developing, extending, designing of the system as a platform simplifies things, at least for some folks! The project has already ported the nagios server code and nagios cgis (to servlets).
Providing a java code base will also simplify addition of some new features including I18N, J2EE/Java Integration, Simple Installation ( no builds ).
Blue was started as an unofficial port of the Nagios project. Blue is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Ethan Galstad or the Nagios project.
The current release of Blue is 0.8.1. It is available here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161313.
