Hi Atom, We use Nagios, plus PNP (http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start) for converting performance data into RRDs for metrics. Most Nagios plugins provide performance data, and if not it's fairly trivial to add them.
I think Groundwork also does something similar (http://groundworkopensource.com ) There's also a Nagios plugin for Cacti that I've been considering (http://trac2.assembla.com/npc ) HTH, Jonathan On Mar 4, 2009, at 2:52 PM, Atom Powers wrote: > 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.
