My fight with the commercialised Nagios continues.
Though they've managed to fix a number of bugs, they seem quite capable of introducing more. Documentation is still poor (one of the support techs actually having to write an upgrade guide for me specifically).
In addition they have committed a most foul heinous crime: changing the architecture mid version.
version x.2 to x.3 totally changes the distribution/load balancing model. In fact in x.2 there was no such thing as load-balancing. beforehand. To me this is a major change in the system, and requires work to accommodate, and should only be done as a new version.
I can see how this is happening, RAD + opensource mentality means, fix the bugs add new features, release it into the wild. Not really what I would expect from a commercial product though. I need stability and bug fixes. New features are great, but I'd prefer to take those as a separate option
