A recent post that mentioned Zabbix inspired me to have a look at them again while I was waiting on something as it?s been a while since I looked at them. Currently, I was using Nagios but had to start using Munin to add some functionality I needed and don?t want to continue down this road of supporting umpteen different packages. Between Zabbix, Pandora and HyperIQ, what would anyone familiar with these have to say. HyperIQ looks rather crippled for the FOSS version, Pandora?s website seems to be down? Maybe they a monitoring solution, heh? Any opinions appreciated! jlc

It is fairly easy to install on Centos with their yum repository. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

>may be zennoss useful for you?The Zenoss community looked a little slim/quit the last time I looked at it, I was attracted to the ESX and wmi capabilities but it looked like it would be a steep undertaking w/o the solid community.
>Snmp is the best feature but it has an assortment of application tests and can work with nagios agents, WMI, and JMX, and parse syslog messages.Yeah don?t get me wrong, snmp is a must (I don?t want agent software) but wmi etc is useful. There is only so far you can get w/ snmp from an application level. I didn?t know it it did this, I will surely have another look, thanks for the info! The one thing I remember about it ages ago when I made the bad move and started w/ Nagios was that the community was strong, a considerable merit for a complex beast like any nms... jlc
