-NetSaint is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
-network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
-and when it gets resolved. NetSaint is written in C and is designed to
-run under Linux, although it should work under most other *NIX variants.
-It can run either as a normal process or as a daemon, intermittently
-running checks on various services that you specify. The actual service
-checks are performed by external "plugins" which return service
-information to NetSaint. Several CGI programs are included with NetSaint
-in order to allow you to view the current service status, history, etc.
-via a web browser.
+Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network
+problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been
+designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under
+most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent
+checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins"
+which return status information to Nagios. When problems are
+encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative
+contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS,
+etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can
+all be accessed via a web browser.
