Extend your monitoring platfom :

The monitoring node doesn't give you what you need out of the box ? You can easily extend it with configuration packs and modules.

Configuration Packs

The configuration packs are basically "ready to run" Nagios® configurations files, with templates and commands. And if you already know how to write a Nagios® configuration file, then you know how to write Shinken configuration packs (and can help the community ;-) ).

Shinken modules

Shinken is designed to be very flexible and modular. If you want to load your configuration from a specific CMDB or export data into a brand new performance data tool, you'll be able to write modules to do that. Take a look at the sample modules, it's in Python and it's really easy.
