Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: server monitoring
We monitor from multiple locations... from within the datacenter and from the office. While we get double the notifications in the event of a failure, the complete redundancy avoids any common failure points. As a side benefit, monitoring from the office tells us when our office internet connection goes down/comes back up, which it does about twice a year.

I am not sure what you are looking at monitoring but we us some of Adventnet's products and they seem to work very well. http://www.adventnet.com/products/index.html Rick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Bilbee Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 3:06 PM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: server monitoring I am doing research on purchasing/open source server monitoring and would like to know what Declude administrators recommend.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: server monitoring
> I am doing research on purchasing/open source server monitoring and > would like to know what Declude administrators recommend. I am in the midst of a two-week (so far) product survey of exactly that sort. One of the sites I manage has a need for granular SNMP and SQL monitoring and reporting across thousands of different metrics, although the number of physical machines is just three! Rather than roll my own solution by augmenting the web application with all kinds custom logging, I'd much prefer to use a third-party platform with its own scheduler, aging, graphical reports, etc. But it's been frustrating so far that I haven't found anything at my price point ($Free through $999) that has quite hit everything I want. I am currently most putting Intellipool, OpUtils, and Zenoss through to the "second round." There have been others that I simply haven't gotten to install for the first 15 minutes, so I've just had to move on (Up.Time, SysOrb) even though they looked promising. Some just suck. But I don't want to call them out just yet. My reqs are likely different from yours, though. How many devices are you monitoring, and how many monitors do you expect to have per device (this is closely tied to pricing for the non-free options). Do you need to be able to query the monitoring database from outside applications? Are you going to concentrate on SNMP monitoring, or do you share a LAN with your Windows devices, making WMI and direct OS monitoring more feasible? Do you need an agentless architecture because you don't control your monitored hosts, or could you install helper agents on your devices when applicable? Are you going to fully dedicate a machine to this function, meaning that an ISO-based distribution that happens to load a non-Windows OS is a non-hassle; similarly, does the machine you are using have enough power to run a VM image of another OS, rather than supporting that OS down to the bare metal? [FYI, I have had nothing but great experiences with IPCheck Server Monitor, which is my current platform (along with SNMP Helper). The problem is that their pricing is at odds with my new requirement that I have unlimited monitors and a small number of physical devices; their pricing is more balanced, so they come in a bit too high.] --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
