Re: monitoring utility

Dear All & List members

Appreciate to get a feedback or resource on sizing of server for this task.
We have a network of about 50 servers and growing wonder what is the best
approach .?
Any help on OS ( flavour of Linux )  is also highly appreciated.

Best Regards

aruna

I am a fan of http://www.nagios.org. Have several custom plugins to montior 
different things, on our enterprise databases, file sizes, server 
performance, and so forth can use the plugins or create ssh tunnels for the 
custom scripts. Does just about everything I need to monitor a few hundred 
severs and network equipment.

I'm a little biased, but if you are willing to spend money (email us for
details) I work on a great network monitoring product.
