Ruslan: Nagios is a very powerful monitoring platform that would duplicate part of ITA and supplement other components. Nagios can proactively monitor the Dell node using "public" functionality (ping, http, etc.) or "private" funtionality (using SNMP queries, Nagios's remote plugin executer (nrpe), ssh calls, etc.). As well, Nagios can be configure to consume SNMP Traps to reactively monitor the nodes. Nagios has rich notification and escalation functionality.
Depending on what you already have in place, Nagios may duplicate what you are already doing. If you don't have procative and reactive monitring and notification functionality (from a secure web platform), then investigating Nagios is a worthwhile investment of time.

What are people using for monitoring? I saw that there was a Nagios plugin, but I'm not familiar enough with nagios and didn't see any documentation on getting the plugin to work.
