In this case, I'm actually looking for something more along the lines of `quick and easy to set up but also flexible enough to grow with our needs' (though, _in general_, I'm appreciative of roll-you-own options). AFAIK we're not particularly familiar with anything at this point, except for maybe some proprietary toys that seemed nice at the time but then ended up `feeling cramped'--like being able to query HTTP URLs, but only being able to check for the presence of some string (i.e.: being unable to check for the _absense_ of a string, or check HTTP status codes). My (vague, second-hand) impression is that Nagios is flexible but complicated. -- "'tis an ill wind that blows no minds." ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Zabbix? Something else? Icinga is worth looking at if you're used to Nagios. For things that would have traditionally been monitored with MRTG or Cacti, I'd recommend taking a look at Observium. If you're more into a roll your own thing, collectd + Graphite + grafana makes some nice looking graphs. -- Chip Marshall http://2bithacker.net/ pgp2bBfpPTgd6.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

I'm generally a fan of nagios... but PandoraFMS is showing potential, especially where execs want pretty pictures.

Looking to set up some system for monitoring systems on the network at work; _vaguely_ familiar with nagios and zabbix What do you guys generally find preferable, and why? Nagios? Zabbix?
