1. allows an operator to launch applications across a distributed network.
2. monitor the status of all software and hardware.
3. report system health on a capability basis - rather than a device basis. This means allocating physical resources (HW and SW) to logical groups.
If I were to use Nagios to perform the monitoring, what technologies are available to incorporate Nagios reporting into a custom HMI?
I suspect the HMI maybe web based so that any user can monitor and control the system.
This is going to be largely up to you to architect - we handle the monitoring, but tying into other applications generally involves some custom scripting.

Thanks for the response. For future repliers, only need to address the integrated monitoring aspect of the solution, as I already have infrastructure for controlling the lifecycle of the apps. I guess the real question pertains to a custom HMI.
I can't really help much with the custom HMI, but the links I provided should give you an idea of how to integrated XI into your own solution. Was there something I am missing? Please provide more detail about what you need Nagios to do and I can see what other options might be available.
