You can capture and get reporting on almost anything regarding service states and uptime/downtime, configure for SMS and email alerts, report on SNMP and WMI data, etc The project has recently been forked, and Icinga (http://icinga.org) is looking very promising too. We actively use Nagios and offer hosted instances for some of our clients - our fully managed clients are monitored using Nagios by default. That way we usually know about issues before our clients do (low disk space on servers, stopped services, loss of connectivity, etc). I used to use OCS at my previous employer - again it's very feature rich and works best in conjunction with GLPI as a ticketing system. Great for producing ad-hoc reports on hardware, checking specs, and installed software and service pack versions without leaving your desk :) Definitely worth a look. Oh and for nmap, to identify hardware/OS by vendor, the command would be nmap -T4 -A 192.168.1.0/24 If it's a large subnet and you'd like greppable output it would be: nmap -T4 -A -oG scan.txt 192.168.1.0/24 Hope this helps P -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Feel free to fire questions at me, guys in #nagios on Freenode are very helpful I've found as well. Looked at OCS but not used it in anger yet I'm afraid.
