To begin, what I wanted to do was to create a way to monitor servers and daily processes without using up one of my workstation screens. After MANY upgrades/updates and iterations, I have developed this easy(ish) solution. Adapt it to your environment and post back what you created! These are the steps I would personally use if starting from scratch.

I won't get into too much detail, as there are plenty of Nagios/Nagvis resources on the web. This kind of monitor is ideal for a small to mid IT shop, but could easily be scalable higher.

Part you'll need:

LCD monitor. Any size

LCD Mount

Old Workstation

Server (or Virtual Server)
