[op5-users] beta of op5 Monitor-4.0 based on Nagios-3

[Johannes Dagemark]

Hi All

Just added one more beta package so now the following is available for 
download

For op5 System/Appliance
https://www.op5.com/products/beta/op5-monitor-install-4.0.0-20081001.tar.gz
username: monitor
password: beta

For RedHat / CentOS
https://www.op5.com/products/beta/op5-monitor-software-install-4.0.0-20081002.tar.gz
username: monitor
password: beta

Small note before you all start sending this feedback... In beta1 the 
gui part for timperiod exceptions is not there, only the backend part. 
So right now timeperiods is not so exiting to check out. Stay tuned 
though, it will soon be there.

Cheers
