Aha. Still who on this list would know about ops manager on linux/solaris? That question should be redirected onto a list about ops manager where you'll probably get your answer then. > >>> Also, what's the best path to pursue for graphing of all variables being >>> checked?

Not sure about the "pricing model" as you may install nsclient++ for free, and maintain it yourself. Though, the ressources required would be making everything available to your client, such as perf counters also used for graphing then. Exposing the windows apis isn't that simple, there must be a reason for that (might be selling ops manager ;) ). > > Thanks for the list of tools.

Given the easyness of them all, try apt-get install --no-install-recommends pnp4nagios I'm not sure how well supported nagiosgraph really is, but I've seen plenty of pnp4nagios installations in the icinga world, including myself. And if the related question after install was not answered here, on monitoring-portal.org there's many users of pnp as well. -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich mail: michael.friedr...@gmail.com twitter: https://twitter.com/dnsmichi jabber: dnsmi...@jabber.ccc.de irc: irc.freenode.net/icinga dnsmichi icinga open source monitoring position: lead core developer url: https://www.icinga.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
