Naemon is an open-source computer system monitoring, network monitoring and infrastructure monitoring software application. Naemon offers monitoring and alerting services for servers, switches, applications, and services. It alerts the users when things go wrong and alerts them a second time when the problem has been resolved. Naemon was created in 2014 as a fork of Nagios.[2][3]

It is available for Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distribution.[4]
