Hello: I'm using hobbit : http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/ http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit (live system) "Hobbit monitors your hosts, your network services, and anything else you configure it to do via extensions. Hobbit can periodically generate requests to network services - http, ftp, smtp and so on - and record if the service is responding as expected. You can also monitor local disk utilisation, logfiles and processes through the use of agents installed on the servers."

Hi, I also use Nagios for monitoring events, and I'm quite happy with it, but I'm looking for a complementary tool for performance/trend monitoring, since I'm not very happy with the Nagios Addons like NagiosGrapher, PNP and the like (limited functionality, high installation effort). I've also taken a look at Cacti, but it seems not very mature yet and integration into Nagios is also rather tedious if you don't want two separate solutions doing things twice. Recently I stumbled over Munin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/munin/), which looks interesting, but I didn't have the time to take a look at it yet. Anybody using Nagios and Munin together and want's to share some experience? :-) best regards, __ /homas ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Check out www.zabbix.com It needs an agent, but with the agent, a lot of stuff is autodetected (drives etc - in Nagios, you've got to do a lot of manual work). I still like Nagios for its flexibility, though. Rainer ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What exactly are you interested in monitoring? Different tools have different uses. If your used to nagios and your environment isn't that big perhaps you should take a peek at groundworks - http://www.groundworkopensource.com/community/community-edition.html I use a combination of nagios and cacti, nagios for event based monitoring and cacti for performance monitoring/trending. My cacti is *heavily* customized the result of hundreds of hours of work and monitors roughly 11 million data points a day. Nagios monitors about half a million. But depending on what exactly your monitoring will depend on what tool is best. e.g. how complex of monitors are you needing. Do you just need PING and basic HTTP checks or are you looking into more complex application level monitoring? nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] [OT] What is the best network monitoring tool?
Hi all, Currently I have a big question. What is the best OPEN SOURCE solution for monitoring multiple Host and Services, for example for using in a WebHosting Provider with 50 hosts or more. Currently, I'm using NAGIOS for more than 3 years, this is a incredible tool, but before upgrade to version 3, I have this existential question. Please fill free to recommend any soft, but with this option in mind. 1- Easy option to personalize any plug-in 2- Good Documentation 3- Support large platforms 4- Run over Linux Sorry for me English Regards Alejandro www.linuxiso.com.ar from Buenos Aires, Argentina ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
