Rasberri Pi

Rasberri Pi + Nagios Core = < enter all endless possibilities and benefits here >

Is anyone working on a project involving Rasberri Pi and Nagios?

Here is an article that touched my heart, and thus Nagios was one of the first things that popped in my head:

Yeah, I know quite a few people have played with this for Nagios Core:

Ok instead of new topic I though I ask the question here; ok got it the Raspi would run Nagios way too slow; how about the more powerful competitors? Beaglebone Black?

BB aside I am sure you see where this is going: a non-PC platform to run a small Nagios out of a tiny form factor yet NOT pay some "appliance" vendor that would charge 20x what it costs to built same small form factor box?

You can have it running quite comfortably if you choose the right distribution, I used debian to run a Nagios server and clocked around 10,000 HTTP checks in a 15 minute period before I noticed a significant drop in performance. Obviously this is depending on the check type you're performing. Don't forget you can easily overclock an RPi. I was using a Model B RPi, I haven't tested this on a Model A.
