Matt Ray has been doing presentations recently on Zenoss, I went to the 
one at OpsCamp a couple of months ago.  I wasn't in my current job and not 
paying a lot of attention to that particular problem space.  I've also 
never had to be quite as concerned about gathering information about the 
internal behavior of an application.  The applications here are often 
running hundreds of internal threads, so I really need to be able to 
gather stats on what they are doing at the same time I'm gathering the 
usual system info.  Being able to also integrate in collection of Oracle 
stats would be useful as well.

Thanks, I'll check it out.  This is the first time I have really needed 
tools that were easily extensible.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
