Dear all, Primarily my servers would be either Linux or Opensolaris.
I'm evaluating to implement network monitoring infrastructure for various heterogeneous systems like windows,linux, mac os x and solaris etc. to be monitored centrally. while researching for oss based network monitoring softwares, there are couple of options that are popular and commonly used, such as: nagios zenoss cacti zabbix functionality : 1. monitor heterogeneous network. 2. popup or mail alerts. 3. mail the alerts and create a task to helpdesk/ticketing systems(like otrs still evaluating). 4. monitor and alert specific services. 5. reports on various statistics being collected and graphs. 6. bandwidth usage and monitor. wishlist: an integrated solution with the following functionality also. 1. inventory management. 2. helpdesk/ticketing system. I would like the opinion of the group, as to what you guys use in such cases. feel free to suggest even if the software is not mentioned above. Regds, Arun.
