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. > You may want to look at the new SAGE booklet Running the Numbers: > System, Network, and Environmental Monitoring [0].

This is the first time I have really needed tools that were easily extensible. -- Matt It's not what I know that counts. It's what I can remember in time to use. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
