Intro
Hello all, I'd like to introduce myself to the list and I'd be very interested in helping out some. My name is John Anderson, and I am the network admin at a small biotech in Wisconsin. We're primarily a CentOS shop in the server room, with a few OpenBSD boxes, and Fedora on the workstations. I migrated our Nagios to Zenoss last year, and currently maintain our Zenoss monitoring. I see that could be a current project for you, and I'd be very interested in that. Other things I've done or are familiar with: * Very familiar with cluster suite, I've built quite a few HA clusters on it in the last year, mostly apache, mysql and tomcat * Installed spacewalk here, using that to manage our Centos updates * I manage our Zimbra mail server, pretty familiar with postfix and sendmail * I've done some xen, some esx * lots of mysql, a very small bit of oracle * I can script well in PHP, Python, some perl I've also been trying to do a little packaging as well. I'm currently mcgarnicle on freenode, I'm hoping to lurk in your meeting today. Anyhow thanks for listening and I'd love to give a hand somewhere.

Re: Server Monitoring - A replacement for Nagios?

Also using Zenoss on Centos 5.2 for monitoring here at $dayjob. I've been keeping it on the current version using their "native" RPM for a year, no issues. Zope is a little bit of a PITA, we just run apache in front of it. I looked at quite a few free monitoring solutions about a year ago, and Zenoss really seemed the most feature full, and definitely best UI. They seem to be developing faster than any of the others as well. The docs are a little rough, but if you have a basic understanding of SNMP it doesn't take that much to figure out. Anyhow, it might be worth your time to try several before committing. > There was an interesting talk at OLS comparing Nagios, Zabbix, Zenoss, > and Hyperic[1] - the upshot was that none of them is a clear > frontrunner > (how's that for being helpful ?) > Zabbix certainly didn't seem very popular at the end vote there. ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
Re: DRBD
CentOS does include them and I use them occasionally. The only specifc instance I can think of off hand was an HA mailfilter. Ubuntu / Debian does not yet include them as far as I am aware. It's not a bad option for replicating on non-SAN boxes. It would be really nice to see it accepted upstream, probably see quite a bit more use.
