This is great news! It takes SA to another level of functionality. I'm
looking forward to testing and using the agents.

This is probably off topic, but maybe not.
We are implementing vmWare ESX and VI in our production environment.
Since the host servers are rather well protected, having agents to talk
with them directly would probably be really nifty. I know that ESX runs
on a proprietary Linux core, so a Linux a

Ah, now I understand (and in fact now I remember you said that ages ago).
Ironically that's less useful to me, although I could still use it behind our

OK, I can live without database. However the more I consider it, the more I
realise that SNMP checking is really important. To explain: our typical

Win32 is actually the critical one for us. (Is that agent available? Are you
looking for beta testers, Dirk?) I'd want it to do all the existing Windows
checks - process, service, perfmon, diskspace, plus database stuff. Ideally it
would do SNMP too - to check for example a non-networked UPS co

Yes, we currently use the DF and PS checks in SA for that.
My unix guy tells me to use "vmstat" or "mpstat" for the CPU and "free"
for the memory.

CPU and mem utilisation to what *nix commands can I compare that?

I would personally yes. That limits it to approximately 5 servers at this
point.
Our linux installations are typically RedHat Enterprise with some Fedora
mixed in. RHE and Debian would probably cover most needs.

prefer not to have the clients at a different cost for different

For our purposes we are checking client sites and the agent would need
to be purchased as part of our "sign up" or written into the monthly
monitoring costs we charge, as such a fee per site of $50-$100 would be
perfectly acceptable
