JumpBox for Nagios 2.x Network Monitoring is an Open Source host, service and network monitoring system that will watch your network and alert you to problems before your clients or end-users do. The system runs checks on hosts and services that you specify using plugins that return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered the system will send notifications to system administrators so that they can take action on the problem.
Benefits of running a JumpBox Deploying an application as a JumpBox provides a dramatically-reduced path to getting started with the software. Aside from installation benefits it yields other advantages such as portability across computing environments and simplified ongoing maintenance of the application. Here are a few of the benefits to using a JumpBox:

* Mac-like usability for server applications that typically require command-line interaction and complicated setup scripts.
* Self-contained deployment means it's easy to move or delete - it won't scatter files all over your Mac's file system.
* Runs equally well under Parallels or VMware Fusion on OSX.
* Use the snapshotting features of your virtualization software to experiment fearlessly with your JumpBox without danger of breaking the application irreparably.
* New versions of the JumpBox contain updates to each component in the software stack so there's no patching web servers, application servers, databases, dependencies, etc.
* A web-based administration console simplifies the management of your application including SSL certs, email relaying, SSH, backups and more.
* Once you know how to install a JumpBox you can deploy any of 50+ other JumpBoxes and take advantage of a growing library of conveniently-packaged Open Source software.
