Greetings, MonitoringForge community! As was mentioned in today’s press release, we have started a project to WTFMM: Write the Flippin’ Monitoring Manual. We are inviting you to participate in the world’s largest documentation project focused on open source monitoring tools. This project is located within the MonitoringForge wiki.

To participate, register as a member. Once logged in, you can contribute copy or link to external areas that contain knowledge information about the following topics:

• How to use popular monitoring tools such as Zenoss, Hyperic HQ, GroundWork Monitor, MRTG, Nagios®* and more
• How to integrate monitoring tools with Puppet or other Open Source tools
• How to develop plugins on different platforms such as Zenoss, Nagios and Hyperic HQ
• How to build and customize platforms such as GroundWork Monitor and others

We would also love to have your war stories, case studies, and anything else of use to someone interested in deploying or developing with Open Source monitoring tools. As an added bonus, we included a jobs section for those seeking and offering work requiring experience with Open Source monitoring.

When we launched this site, we made a promise to be inclusive of all Open Source monitoring projects. Help us by adding your knowledge borne from experience with all Open Source monitoring software.
