Syslog-ng is what we've historically used for centralized logging and I'll be revamping it with v3 later this year. Combined with a logwatching tool, it makes a powerful combination with an snmp-based monitoring tool. Intuitively, I like better the idea of remote monitoring of Cfengine cf-execd processes and promise repairs via SNMP, though I seem to recall Mark not being the biggest fan of SNMP. If I'm recalling that correctly, I think there'd be a small chance of SNMP integration.
OTOH, perhaps centralized log monitoring is sufficient. It will take implementation, testing, and experience to determine this, I think.

OpenNMS isn't particularly good at throttling repeated notifications if they come from an outside source like syslog. But one nice touch is that it can send notifications to an xmpp (jabber)group conference so you can watch with an IM client when/if you are interested and not have to clean up a mailbox when there has been a lot of output. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine This electronic communication and any attachments may contain confidential and proprietary information of DigitalGlobe, Inc.
