We use Server Nanny to monitor server services, web sites, loads of things, really. Then we have ELM (TNT Software IIRC) for event log monitoring.

Sorry... I should have been more clear. Looking at around 30-50 servers, at multiple sites/clients... not one system. Thanks again for the ideas. You've all given me a good kick start to my research. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Server/network device monitor software suggestions?

J Solarwinds, ServersAlive, Whatsup Gold, nagios, Event Tracker, etc. Regards, Michael B.

I'm looking for a solution that will allow us to monitor many servers from many different sites. Looking for Event log triggers/alerts first and foremost, but any other information that could be gathered would be great as well. I'm not looking for free, but GFI Events Manager is more expensive per device than my managers will allow me to spend. Open source would be awesome, but management is willing to spend some money on a solution. I appreciate any ideas or suggestions!
