In my experience (and, I think, logically), lightweight packages are likely to require more labor to get the results that you want except for the rare occasion when the author's goals and yours coincide. Nagios is actually quite light weight. I don't like it much, but I use it extensively. Getting things like simple graphs out of it is rather difficult exactly because it is a light weight package. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This will help you narrow your software choices to what you need. Some monitoring software such as Zenoss does both (alerting and trend graphing) as do others.

You can also use munin charts in "on-demand" cgi mode where the charts are being drawn only when called for from the pregenerated HTML (which can also be on-demand). This also enables chart zooming. You need to configure your webserver to run few perl scripts via cgi. http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/CgiHowto Otherwise munin-node is just a set of perl scripts and other than the dependency list, really is lightweight. -- .oO V Oo.

I use Munin. If you intend to monitor many hosts, that will lead to tons of charts to draw periodically. This is very I/O consuming, and you have to make sure you have enough for that, or spend some time to reconfigure the nodes to reduce monitored resources. Munin is easy to setup because it has configuration suggestions: it might monitor ressources that are useless for you. -- RMA. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
