If you call them, they are pretty flexible about the demo limits.

Sigh. The 25 device limit is actually good (because most do 10), but the 2 transactions per managed device limit totally undermines that. http://www.heroix.com/aspscript/Longitude_package_features.asp <http://www.heroix.com/aspscript/Longitude_package_features.asp> Also, the demo download for the professional version limits you to 10 devices managed.

I haven't ruled it out 100%, but we'd have to see rejection of Zabbix, Hyperic and OpenNMS first. Not sure which Zenoss version -- will check today. ASB On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Steven M.

I don't want to derail your thread, but as an aside I'd be interested in knowing why you are moving away from Zenoss. -sc From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 9:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OpenSource Network/Systems Monitoring I know a lot of you use Nagios for your oss monitoring needs, but I'd love to hear from people who have tested multiple products: I'm looking to upgrade the monitoring at %WORK% from a combination of Old SiteScope and some Zenoss, to one of the following: * OpenNMS -- http://www.opennms.org/ * Zabbix -- http://www.zabbix.com/ <http://www.zabbix.com/download.php> * Hyperic -- http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring I don't want separate consoles for Servers and Network devices, as we do today. And I'm not so concerned about commercial support, although it would be a plus to deploy an option that has both community support and commercial support options. I've used Nagios in the past, but I prefer to deploy and manage something that is less finicky to initially configure -- especially since I won't be managing it directly. I don't care what platform it runs on. I'll likely run it in a VM, unless performance is horrid. Here are some relevant stats: * ~250 Windows and Linux servers (85% / 15%) * -- 20% of the environment is virtualized (ESX/ESXi) * -- Windows = 2003 & 2008 * -- Linux = Ubuntu * ~50 Network Devices (90% Cisco) * Currently, devices to be monitored are in 4 locations, including the NOC, with 2 more to come online by year's end * Monitoring server can run on Linux or Windows -- no preference * Need agents (if supported) for Windows, Linux, and one Mac Oh, and on a side note, I'm likely going to run whatever I pick for %WORK% on my home network as well.
