[ILUG] Server monitoring

[Anders Holm]

Hey!

Well, there are a few things you could get....

The ones that spring to min mind initially are MRTG and OpenNMS...

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/
http://www.opennms.org/

Should both do the trick. Have a closer look. They both use SNMP to collect
the data.. They have different approaches in some ways, but shouldn't be too
hard to get going for an initial monitoring solution...

Best Regards

What are any of you using for server monitoring ? I mean something that I
can run on a box to monitor any number of things from drive space available,
to system load, to checking that web sites are available, to filling in
forms on web pages etc. etc.

The boss says that he came across something on Sourceforge which seems
highly regarded and has a modular architecture but he can't remember what
it's called :-( and seraching on "monitoring" on Sourceforge returns quite a
few hits.
