Cool! Nagios-cucumber looks like a great tool. I knew I wasn't the only on=
e thinking along those lines.
You're right that Nagios isn't a Continuous Integration tool. I'm just thin=
king that functionality can suffer because of things other than new commits=
, especially on a production app. So reusing existing functional tests for =
monitoring seems like a good way to increase monitoring coverage.
And I think sysadmins could benefit from using test tools to prove assertio=
ns about the environment and infrastructure underneath the application.
Thanks for your feedback, Ranjib!

Subject: Re: [Nagios-devel] Integrating Nagios with Test Driven Development
Well, monitoring tools like nagios are more used against in production or m=
ission critical infrastructure/apps. While unit tests are a part of develop=
ment practices and there are dedicated tools (called as Continuous Integrat=
ion tools) used for checking unit tests outputs. Jenkin/Hudson, crucise con=
trol, goldberg, Go etc are few of them. These tools can monitor a code repo=
sitory (git/svn/hg etc) and pull in new commits and then run the unit/funct=
ional test automatically and then notify/alert accordingly.
If your unit tests are failing, then it means they are not going via a CI t=
ool. To me testing and monitoring are pretty different.
Never the less, i like the idea
. We do use nagios-cucumber for work flo=w monitoring against some of our apps.
