De ontwikkelaars van Nagios hebben in de vorm van versie 3.1.0 een nieuwe development release vrijgegeven. De nieuwe versie kan door te klikken op deze link als tarball worden gedownload. Met behulp van Nagios kan toezicht op diverse onderdelen van een (thuis)netwerk worden gehouden. In het kort gezegd is het programma een zogenoemde networkmonitor. Zo is het onder meer mogelijk om netwerkservices (smtp, pop3 en http) en statistieken van resources (processorgebruik, hardeschijfruimte en temperaturen) te raadplegen. De release notes en het changelog van Nagios 3.1.0 zijn hieronder gepost:
Nagios 3.1.0 has just been released as a development/testing snapshot of the Nagios 3.x code. It fixes a number of reported bugs that are present in 3.0.6 and includes a new feature that will check for new releases of Nagios. Once the 3.1.x release branch is tested enough to be considered stable, a stable 3.2.0 release will be made. Read the Changelog, download Nagios 3.1.0 and give it a try.
