Greetings...
What are people using for IPv6 monitoring - in particular, for monitoring services such as DNS, Web, E-mail, etc. ?
Nagios seems the people's choice. Any others...open source or commercial ?
TIA...

We are using Solarwinds on our systems..... it's one commercial system to
consider.

Yo Vytautas!
We use a combination of Nagios and Observium

Open source Icinga and Nagios would work fine, and the configurations
should be (mostly) interchangable, with a notable exception.
Icinga's host object type has an "address6" paramter, which Nagios does
not have. For Nagios, a patch is available in IPv6 address in host definition patch - Nagios Exchange

shows one way of doing dual stack monitoring of a single service, using
the "check_multi" monitoring plugin.
