I vote for Zenoss Core (http://www.zenoss.org/) - takes care of both performance monitoring & events/alerts, with very flexible events processing. For some reason less popular in Israel when Zabbix, but has very impressive list of US customers. regards, Vitaly PS: presented Zenoss for ILTechTalk

Zabbix, nagios (which focuses more on alerts/checks but can be extended to graph) or cacti (which focuses more on graphing but can be extended to do alerts) are all excellent solutions. Amos - can you add a TL;DR about your mail? Regards, Eliyahu - אליהו 2014-06-16 11:44 GMT+03:00 Rabin Yasharz

How do you configure zabbix outside its GUI? As far as I saw so far it's not possible so you have to point and click your way through its gui. Most of what I wrote against nagios is relevant to Zabbix as well - central server etc. On 16 Jun 2014 17:49, "Rabin Yasharzadehe" wrote: > I can recommen

I can second Zabbix. We use it in our current setup 100+ servers, works OK. Also you can take Nagios. or one of the clones One of previous my previous monitoring solutions had 1+ specialized requests/hour with help of custom scripts in perl & C. One thing to consider. Most of monitoring soluti

I can recommend Zabbix, I was never used it on a large network (~30 server most), but i was happy with it. - you can set the monitoring interval for each item (from 1s -> days) - samples are stored in the DB, and graphs are plotted only when you need them - have a build in support for SMS and Jabb

For a start, it looks like you put both trending and alerting in one basket. I'd keep them separate though alerting based on collected trending data is useful (e.g. don't alert just when a load threshold is crossed but only if the trending average for the part X minutes is above the threshold, or e
