I personally like the idea of building any new stuff on top of snmp/net-snmp. Net-snmp is already common in the rest of the *nix world, Solaris already has it (somewhat old release), and tools like OpenNMS on Solaris (what I use) are pretty awesome.
I'm less of a fan of agent-based systems, such as Nagios, because they don't scale as well as passive snmp-based monitoring (imho). I think you can integrate Hyperic agents and OpenNMS, though, for those looking for agent-based monitoring coupled with OpenNMS (sorry for the partial thread hijack). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
