We are using Zenoss to monitor everything you mention. No, you don't have to install anything on the Windows machines. Just enable SNMP and install SNMP-Informant if you want CPU/memory performance. You can also monitor Windows via WMI.
Linux just works (if SNMP is configured) and for Sun, we use net-snmp as a sub-agent for the Solaris snmp agent in order to handle the Host-Resources MIB (instructions on the net-snmp website). You're correct, some type of CDP discovery would be cool. Maybe in the future :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of folke Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 2:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [zenoss-users] Evaluating Zenoss and have some small questions about it. Hi, Here at work we are looking for a new monitoring system. A few of the ones we are looking at for the moment are OpenView, MOM, Zenoss, Hyperic. Today we are using a combination of Netdisco / Nagios. But we want one gui for "everything". So before inventing the wheel again I am wondering if someone are using Zenoss to monitor Linux / Sun / Windows and Cisco equipment. Have anyone here looked at nedi @ http://www.nedi.ch/doku.php It would be great to have something like this incorporated into Zenoss :) Is the agent for windows servers required to have python installed on them? By the looks of it Zenoss seems to be a great program! It will be really interesting to try it out more. -- Regards Folke ------------------------ unset -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=9221#9221 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
