One of the things Tivoli had promised to provide our company was end-to-end insight of our Java applications. It doesn't work. Any product that does this is going to be difficult to create, implement or administer. In our case, the easiest method for verifying the uptime and performance of our applications is to have our developers build it into the application.
If you only want to know about the interactions between services on various servers then I would guess you'll need to use those same communication lines (whether that be a protocol, port, or physical network) and do some check writing. Obviously simply checking that the service is up on the individual can only tell you that the service is running - not that its not communicating or having a communication problem. I'm not sure how to represent this in Nagios, though. For my part, I've created a host group for a specific customer. The members of this group are all the network devices this customer touches in the process of working with us. Its not visually represented but it does give me a customer specific availability report. On 12/27/06, Todd Mcneill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was thinking of something a little more detailed.
