Server monitoring [duplicate]

  • 772

I need a server monitoring tool that does the following - Notifications when services or sites go down - SLA Reports - Inventory Managment - Centralized Logs - Monitor local and remote servers

I have looked into using Groundwork Opensource, Splunk, Spiceworks which seperatly seem to do some of these tasks, but I would prefer not to have so many tools, anybody know any one tools that can do this all?

BTW My servers are not in a domain environment so tools that require that will not work for me.

  1. Check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_network_monitoring_systems Which does a comparison of quite a few pieces of software

  2. Zabbix is the one we use that does all those things, I believe that Nagios would also do them (with a few plugins). It runs on Linux, but we have a 95% Windows environment, but that's no problem. We just installed it on a small Linux VM and it has Windows agents.

    Thank you for your input Mark, I have decided to go with OpenAudit for the inventory management and GWOS for the server monitoring with the ArcSight Logger 5.0 plugin for Log monitoring

  4. Nagios seems to be the option that many people prefer, but Hyperic HQ, Groundwork, and Zenoss are other options. This article breaks down the differences pretty well. http://www.futurehosting.com/open-source-server-monitoring-what-are-your-options/
