Hi all, Currently I have a big question. What is the best OPEN SOURCE solution for monitoring multiple Host and Services, for example for using in a WebHosting Provider with 50 hosts or more. Currently, I'm using NAGIOS for more than 3 years, this is a incredible tool, but before upgrade to version 3, I have this existential question. Please fill free to recommend any soft, but with this option in mind. 1- Easy option to personalize any plug-in 2- Good Documentation 3- Support large platforms 4- Run over Linux Sorry for me English Regards Alejandro www.linuxiso.com.ar from Buenos Aires, Argentina -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Different tools have different uses. If your used to nagios and your environment isn't that big perhaps you should take a peek at groundworks - http://www.groundworkopensource.com/community/community-edition.html I use a combination of nagios and cacti, nagios for event based monitoring and cacti for performance monitoring/trending. My cacti is *heavily* customized the result of hundreds of hours of work and monitors roughly 11 million data points a day. Nagios monitors about half a million. But depending on what exactly your monitoring will depend on what tool is best. e.g. how complex of monitors are you needing. Do you just need PING and basic HTTP checks or are you looking into more complex application level monitoring? nate

Written in Perl and supports plug-in monitor and alert modules. The modules are easy to write. It's better than most largely advertised system monitoring/alert packages because it is simple in design, configuration is flexible, and it supports a large number of hosts. http://mon.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page> > Currently, I'm using NAGIOS for more than 3 years, this is a incredible > tool, but before upgrade to version 3, I have this existential question. > > Please fill free to recommend any soft, but with this option in mind. > 1- Easy option to personalize any plug-in > 2- Good Documentation > 3- Support large platforms > 4- Run over Linux > > Sorry for me English > Regards > Alejandro > www.linuxiso.com.ar > from Buenos Aires, Argentina > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- -Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
