Nagios - NTray

Shameless plug here:

For users of the Nagios monitoring system, you can use NTray, the Nagios Tray icon for yourself.

Get it at www.nagiosexchange.org

Out of necessity, I wrote NTray myself using Perl with a GUI toolkit for Windows to enable all the functionality I wanted (and avoid making people hand-edit configuration files). I used Win32::GUI and the "GUI Loft" toolkit to make the configuration pages and menus and the nice system tray icon.

I'm not heavily maintaining NTray any more, mostly because Nagios is being phased out where I work... so if someone is interested in taking over ownership of the project, I'd be glad to share.
