“Thruk is written in Perl with the Catalyst module. There is no
need to install Thruk on the same host as Nagios, the reuisitie
it’s a webserver that can parse perl pages. Thruk can connect to
one or more Nagios instances using MKLivestatus with a TCP socket
over the network.

“In these few days of use i must say that i’ve found Thruk more
lightweight and responsive (i used the original Nagios cgi), and i
really love his feature to select different services and apply to
them a custom action (acknowledge them, schedule a downtime, put a
comment, etc.).”
