This is a short series of how to’s on creating an easy to configure monitoring solution that alerts to an IRC channel. I’ve tried to keep this limited in scope even though there are lots of moving parts. The main moving parts are CentOS 6.5 x86_64, OMD, SSMTP, ngIRCd and Supybot.



Part 1: CentOS 6.5 and VirtualBox 4.3

Part 2: OMD/Nagios/Check_MK/SSMTP on CentOS 6.5 x86_64

Part 3: ngIRCd on CentOS 6.5

Part 4: Installing and Configuring Supybot
