We all know we should do it. Provide a monitoring system to see how our system loads are going. I have a couple of links that look interesting: http://flapjack-project.com/ It is local so goes first :-) Flapjack is a scalable and distributed monitoring system. It natively talks the Nagios plugin format. http://www.cacti.net/ (Language PHP) Cacti is a complete network graphing solution... http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ (Language Perl) Munin is a networked resource monitoring tool that can help analyze resource trends and "what just happened to kill our performance?" problems. It is designed to be very plug and play. A default installation provides a lot of graphs with almost no work. http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/ The Multi Router Traffic Grapher http://support.nagios.com/knowledgebase Cannot find a simple 'what is nagios' on website. 'Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems.' From whitepaper. http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ SmokePing keeps track of your network latency Any comments on the above and any others to add to the list? Other reading: http://wiki.nagios.org/index.php/White_Papers Implementation of Cacti, Smokeping, Nagios (2004) Based on a quick read, munin looks pretty good. Ta Ken
