#+TITLE: A Nagios dashboard with OpsCode Chef integration. #+Options: num:nil #+STARTUP: odd #+Style:

• How It Works Nagios-Dashboard parses the nagios status.dat file & sends the current status to clients via an HTML5 WebSocket.

  The dashboard monitors the status.dat file for changes, any modifications trigger client updates (push).

  Nagios-Dashboard queries a Chef server or Opscode platform organization for additional host information.

• Requirements
