   Presentations:

      1. "Nagira - Nagios RESTful API" (by Dmytro Kovalov)

          Nagira is open source project for development of
          web services API for popular monitoring system Nagios.

          RESTful API allows remote access to read configuration data 
          and object status database of Nagios. Using same HTTP(S) 
          protocol Nagira also allows to submit passive check results 
          for hosts and service checks. In future versions planned 
          also to be able to change Nagios configuration and control 
          Nagios server.

          Using webservices API would allow:
             Distributed monitoring using multiple Nagios instances 
             and integrating services information in single dashboard;

             Service checks aggregation from single or multiple Nagios 
             instance into composite check(s)

             Modular monitoring setups for applications with RESTful API's

      2. "Loading snowplow web analytic data into the skydb 
          behavioral database" (by Edward Middleton)

          Skydb is a high performance open source behavioral database(1)
          created by Ben Johnson(2). Snowplow(1) is a web analytics 
          platform similar to google analytics for tracking user activity
          on a website. In this talk Edward will give some background 
          about these tools and explain how to load data snowplow event 
          data into a skydb database for performing some basic web analytics.
