Re: Network Monitoring Software

[Jay Vlavianos <jvlavianos () ecastnetwork com>]

To extend that comment, Nagios is actually highly configurable with  
scripts you can write in PERL, bash or compile your own - anything  
that can give you a return code can be used as a command in Nagios  
that you can base uptime on.

Nagios also allows you to comment on systems or groups and schedule  
downtime for maintenance ... Etc.

Combining Nagios, MRTG (or Cacti), and splunk is a great holistic way  
to watch your system for very little money.

The only plus in my book for Zenoss is that you can get a VM of the  
whole system and run it as a virtual instance.
