I have a relatively small shop, about 30 servers in three locations, and I need help finding a service monitor that can notify me when something is amis, or about to go badly. Specifically I am looking for a product that can send alerts when a service fails a check and keep metrics for all the servers that it monitors.
I've tried several products, and none really do what I want. (I prefer OpenSource, but it's not a requirement. Running on *BSD/Linux *is*.) Nagios is good for alerting, but it's doesn't keep metrics. Cacti is good at keeping metrics, but it won't alert me if something is wrong. ZenOss does both, but I have found it difficult to manage and buggy, and the commercial version is expensive. Can you recommend or mention some other products that you have used or heard about? -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--
