Subject: [Nagios-users] Suggestions for event correlation managers?

Hello,

I'm looking for suggestions for applying Nagios' style of event handling 
(escalations, recoveries, acknowledgements), hopefully with some improvements 
(aggregation), to events coming from many different (non-Nagios) sources.  I 
know of a few Nagios-specific notification aggregators, but can anyone 
recommend a good (preferably inexpensive / OSS) way of expanding that to 
include many other tools?  I know about SNARE and RiverMuse, but they're 
relatively expensive.

We make heavy use of Nagios as well as several other tools (MSFT SCOM, HP SIM, 
Oracle Grid Control, AlertSite.net, etc).  They're all sending alerts in 
various forms to a small group of admins and engineers, so many of us get 
alerts from all of the tools, sometimes from more than one tool regarding a 
single event.

Nagios does a great job of flexibly managing alerts from its own events, but I 
don't see how I'd hook in the other tools.  Several of the tools (e.g. SCOM and 
SIM) don't even have any concept of event correlation -- breakage and recovery 
are two separate events.

I see tools like SNARE, RiverMuse ECM, and a few others filling this gap, at 
least partially, but I don't yet have experience with them and they're 
relatively expensive.  Anyone doing this effectively with OSS tools or low-cost 
tools or a good home-grown approach you wouldn't mind sharing (and possibly 
collaborating on)?
