I'll chime in here with a recommendation for Ganglia, http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/. I run both Ganglia and Cacti for similar purposes but pointed at different devices. As a bit of a "new school" guy, I don't particularly like SNMP monitoring my linux hosts. Instead, Ganglia supplies a thin client that is multicast based along with the ability to create a monitoring hierarchy that I really like. Nagios and Ganglia have been installed promptly in every environment I've worked and and the two have covered all my requirements for years. -D ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
