I actually have a very similar problem, and wrote some software to solve
it. I am a consultant, and want to proactively monitor my customer's
systems for all kinds of performance problems. Like your situation, my
monitoring requires access to private data that is not published outside
the firew
I have been tasked by my company to compare system monitoring tools. We are a
small Java software development shop. Our product runs on several servers
(Windows or Unix) at each of our clients, and has a web front end, file system
storage, and database (PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MS SQL Server).
