CentOS - Nov 2006 - (simple) Server Monitoring Package like ServerStats

Hi,
was wondering if there exists an RPM somewhere to a system monitoring
package which I can use to install on a centos server. I'm using
serverstats for my other gentoo boxes and it works great(and simple)

I can't seem to locate RPMS for serverstats for Centos.
Thanks

I used to work with Big Brother and Nagios.

Big Brother is relatively simple.  Basically bunch of shell and Perl 
scripts that can be customized to monitor almost anything I could think of.

Nagios is relatively complex.  Works nicely with SNMP.  Full of 
features.  If I were to build monitoring systems from scratch, Nagios is 
definitely tool I would use.

I think I saw somewhere Nagios packaged as RPM.  Not sure where.

Also take a look at munin and zabbix. Zabbix is pretty nice.

I will take a look at this. (1st thing is to locate where it is)

Nagios is too complex.

Dag has the RPMs for all the Nagios packages. Once you get the repo set
up to pull his stuff, there's a how-to for getting it installed and
working from a basic standpoint already on the CentOS wiki.

You might want to take a look at monit (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/).
 Simple to set up and use.
