Set up Nagios monitoring of the ARM farm

Project Name

Set Up Nagios to monitor the Seneca Machines (ARM/X86)

Project Description

"Nagios monitors your entire IT infrastructure to ensure systems, applications, services, and business processes are functioning properly. In the event of a failure, Nagios can alert technical staff of the problem, allowing them to begin remediation processes before outages affect business processes, end-users, or customers. With Nagios you'll never be left having to explain why a unseen infrastructure outage hurt your organization's bottom line. "

Setting up Nagios for the Fedora-ARM build farm will make it easier to get notification of system issues.
