Ryan and I talked about that a little bit the other day, actually. The two go together quite well, actually. You can have Nagios poll the devices and then create rrd databases that Cacti can manipulate, or you can poll with Cacti and then have Nagios alert off those rrd databases (e.g. when a ping average falls below a certain value) SolarWinds does, however, have its place in the universe. Nagios and Cacti are "easy" for people who are already familiar open source, and SolarWinds makes sense for network types who rarely want to worry about nix-y stuff, such as vi, restarting services on boxes, troubleshooting overloaded boxes, installing client on servers, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
