Off the top of my head the only other two that I would want explicitly
would be:
 - ntp/chrony and their respective ntpd. Nodes go offline when the timing
slides too far, especially if you are using Munge.
 - authentication system - in our case ipa/sssd. Without that, even the
queued jobs will fail.

We use Zabbix in house. I was under the impression that people were moving
toward icingia2 over Nagios.

is the insistence that we cannot ignore the truth, nor should we panic
about it. It is a shared consciousness that our institutions have failed
and our ecosystem is collapsing, yet we are still here — and we are
creative agents who can shape our destinies. Apocalyptic civics is the
conviction that the only way out is through, and the only way through is
together. "
