The link makes the point that 'Nagios has all these things wrong with it, like a horrible UI. Fortunately, there's Sensu, which requires you to build your own UI to do these things it can do. And by 'it' I mean 'other software instead'.'

I like the idea of Sensu, and I would love to have a system built on it, but I don't have the time or energy to build that system, create the parts of it that need creating, tie them all together, and then (ha!) make sure they're all monitored so that none of my monitoring system fails.

Being pro-Nagios is like being pro-USA: it does a lot of things that annoy people, but in the end it means well, gets the job done, and you know what the caveats are. It's not perfect, but I have other problems to solve and systems to build.
