Volatile Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 We recently tested out Zenoss and the VM ended up becoming corrupted on the LUN, now I have been tasked with either setting that back up or finding something to replace it. What would be your choice for monitoring/inventory/resources which can run on linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Nagios/OpenNMS/OCS Inventory+GLPI. Depends on your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted July 26, 2009 MVC Share Posted July 26, 2009 Im going to give OpenNMS a go from what ive seen it looks good. Nagios is good but needs too much configuring. A big task if your on a large scale network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullbox15 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I like nagios because it's agentless. If you have cpanel, it can be easliy configured to run munin. Zabbix is another one, but it requires an agent on whatever you want to monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber-Knight Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 For monitoring resources on a webserver, I use htop. Shows CPU (per core/thread) , MEM, virtual memory, can sort processes by user, process, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyF Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 We tried OpenNMS before and were less than impressed. It is surprisingly hard to configure and limited in features. Groundworks Open Source is a nice tool, it's built on top of Nagios, but it is much easier to configure and get running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shthead Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Groundworks Open Source is a nice tool, it's built on top of Nagios, but it is much easier to configure and get running. Another one that is also eay to setup is Zabbix. We use Nagios at my work and to make configuration easier I have wrote a script to manage it all. Adding/editing/deleting hosts is very simple that way, likewise with custom commands etc. It has cut down the time to edit it to only a few seconds.

Xelar Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 If you want to monitor network devices then this program is quite nice : http://metanav.uninett.no/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstrider Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I know Zenoss is better but have you had a look at PandoraFMS. It really looks pretty easy to set up and use. Go here to have a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
