Project History

The Nagios Mod-Gearman project is a fork of an older project that dropped support for the Nagios Core monitoring engine prior to 2024.

 

Due to community and customer interest, the Nagios Team collaborated to bring back Nagios support to this add-on in 2025 and release it to the community as an Open Source project and to our customers as a commercially supported scalability option for their enterprise IT monitoring needs.
