Thanks to all who replied. I received 26 replies, so I am opting to not list your names - but thank you all! Overwhemlingly, Nagios is recommended for monitoring and notification. For trend analysis about 60% of you recommend Cacti. Very few suggested commercial solutions, which to me suggests that there really isn't much good software out there for sale. We're already using Nagios in-house, so we'll look at keeping it around. However, the suggestion of Cacti was great, so we'll certainly look at that as well. The software packages that you mentioned were; Nagios, http://www.nagios.org Cacti, http://www.cacti.net Big Brother, http://www.bb4.org, http://www.bb4.com Big Sister, http://bigsister.sourceforge.net Zabbix, http://www.zabbix.com Cricket, http://cricket.sourceforge.net ORCA, http://www.orcaware.com/orca ProIT Monitoring, http://www.performanceit.com (sparc only) Munin, http://munin.projects.linpro.no GroundWork Monitor, http://www.groundworkopensource.com Lund MetaView, http://www.lund.com OpenNMS, http://www.opennms.org Again, thank you all and if I neglected to mention a software package or seemingly omitted your advice, I apologize. -Alex _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu May 25 14:24:13 2006
