The part on the FAN version should be lengthened !!! Trainer: Nothing to say !!!

It would be interesting to provide the VMs in order to save a little time at the start of the training. Maybe plan to extend the training from 1 to 2 days to have more time for the presentation of Nagios-based products (like FAN or EON). Interesting course for a first contact with Nagios, which was one of my goals. Very available trainer and pedagogue.

The training proceeded with a lot of pedagogy. We discovered Nagios, then we finished the training with a built-in. Perhaps it would be worth seeing the integrated "Eyes of Network" instead of "FAN" at the end of the course. Trainer: Excellent

Nice and warm. Enriching training, we went around the main areas of monitoring with Nagios. Trainer: Excellent knowledge of Nagios and Linux.

Trainer: Very friendly contact.
