About this app

aNag is an unofficial Icinga, Thruk, Naemon and Nagios client for android devices. The goal of this application is provide to sysadmin an embedded overview of all their Thruk, Icinga and/or Nagios monitored infrastructure.

It also works with Opsview, at least v4.1.1, probably other version too. If not, mail me, and be prepared to provide me a temporary read only account :) .
And now also work with EyesOfNetwork but as for OpsView, be prepared to provide me a temporary read only account for debugging purposes. Same thing for old Thruk instances :)


aNag handles:
- multiple Icinga (1.x or 2 with classic-ui), Thruk (at least 2.32), Naemon (w/ Thruk), Nagios, OpsView and EyesOfNetwork instances
- Client certificate authentication
- self signed / invalid certificate exception on per instance basis
- no server side modification required (only stock CGI)
- Background auto refresh
- Service filtering (acknowledge, scheduled downtimes, disabled notifications and SOFT state) customizable differently for notification and display
- Notification (top bar, vibrate, sound) on per severity basis and on update failure
- Fine grained notification criteria
- Pattern based filtering (regexp, equals, contains, starts with, ends with against server name, service name, services message or a selection)
- Quiet hours (global or on weekday basis), Critical only mode (change quiet hours behavior)
- Multiple actions available directly in app [on hosts or services]:
- * acknowledge (incl. Icinga 1.6+ expirable ack)
- * custom notification
- * submit passive check
- * enable/disable notification
- * recheck
- * downtime management (set and remove)

- Shutdown the application and the update service until manually restarted (eg: for vacations or weekends) using "About" => "Kill app & service"
- Widgets (multiple size)
- Can warn you even in silent or vibrate mode
- Tier 2+ mode available to delay notification based on duration
- native gzip support (see note in the FAQ for JSON compression using mode deflate)
- Quick auth for basic authentication (reduce request count)
- Icinga JSON format (1.6+) (more efficient than standard parsing, even more in conjunction with gzip)

I noticed that some preference summaries where truncated on some devices so you can found a complete reference of aNag's preferences with summaries and comments at http://damien.degois.info/android/aNag/settingstree .

The complete changelog is available at http://damien.degois.info/android/aNag/changelog .
You'll also find all user comments available and associated answers at http://damien.degois.info/android/aNag/usercomments .

If you use/like/hate aNag, have comments or just want to write something, feel free to drop me a line, I'm also interested on your usage / setting (number of instances/services, if you use quiet hours, your usual notification settings).
Suggestions are also welcome.

Ratings and reviews

Seems to work great, but I don't understand why there is a sticky notification indicating that everything is ok. I can't seem to change this in settings. I don't need a notification when all is well, and a notification should always be dismissable. Update: didn't know Android requires this, thanks for the info!

Requesting for a "Nag" function where a audio and / or vibration and / or camera flash light blinking alert, UNTIL we acknowledge the alert by clicking on the screen or by clicking the phones power button or scrolling down from the top to the phone screen to stop the "Nag until you acknowledge" feature. This feature would be invaluable for people responsible to minimize service downtime during non working hours. i.e. In situations where we we are sleeping or otherwise indisposed.

This app is one of the main reasons to have smartphone. Musthave tool for sysadmins. update 18.03.23 - not usable on motorola g72, android 12 - crashes immediately after start, unable to send feedback as the feedback agent also crashes. Update 2024 Switching from 5 to 1 star. The app is abandoned and not supportes anymore. Can't be used on up to date Android. Not recommended.
