I hope this isn't terribly off topic. We're on the hunt for a
really great multi-server management & monitoring solution. Does
anyone know of a good open source monitoring script? If not what are
you opinions on systems that we could purchase? We want something
that'll monitor nodes + help us track IP usage, version information,
average loads, and disk space usage on 100-200 servers. We've tried
alot of things that do some of those items, but can't seem to find
one solution that does it all, and with that many servers it would
be terribly helpful.
I do not know of any singe system to handle all this. However I do
have recommendations for some individual products.
Monitoring: Nagios http://nagios.org/
Extremely flexible, can write plugins to monitor anything (in any
language).
Reporting: Cacti http://cacti.net
Collects data from many sources (snmp, ssh, files, etc) and shows
historical graphs of many things. Examples include network traffic,
average loads, disk usage, etc.
Tracking: IPPlan http://iptrack.sourceforge.net/
Flexible IP address tracking. Easy to use, extendible, and full of
features.
Documentation: MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org
wiki's are awesome for maintaing server documentation like hardware,
serial numbers, switch connections, etc.
