Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on a decent inexpensive monitoring software package, and was looking for your alls input! What I need is the ability to monitor custom services/applications and send out alerts via SMTP, I would prefer the app had it's on SMTP source. I would also like this package to be agent based so I can have the agent stop/start services on a system that might have network issues (ir start/stop the networking stack). Finely I would like this to be centraly managed.. ie a server that I can make 90% of the service changes on, and have then proliferate to the work stations/agents (similar to McAfee ePO)... I'm currnently looking at OpManager, and Servers Alive, but would like input from anyone that may have experiance with other products... I'm not really worried about the bells and whistles, as long as it can do the above |

You should have a look at Nagios. I hear good things about it and I think a few people on this board use it. If you want to pay I can recommend Nimbus. |
