Hi all

I've been tasked to look at deploying another monitoring system for our 
company. After taking a look at ZenOSS I'm very interested in taking it further.

We have a set of requirements which looks as follows;


provide information on service faults (monitor, alert and escalate)

reports on service availability (differentiate between scheduled and 
unscheduled outages, understand clustered/load balanced services, understand 
conditions and linked services, ability to meet SLA)

reports on service performance (speed/response time of service/network, 
latency, jitter)

diagnostic tools and information (cpu, mem, disk usage, iostats,
 procs, sessions, traffic etc.)

event correlation (console logs, syslogs)

linked to incident management, engineer notes and reporting

"views" customisable for different groups, summary and drill down features, can 
hide acknowledged faults)

collate data for reports (graphs, outage history + availability
 statistics)

easy to use for all groups to manage devices and services being
 monitored (template driven, different access/auth levels)

self healing technologies

distributed and redundant platform

auto-detect/self-updating (e.g. with switch/router interface labels)

draw diagrams based on discovered data

provides capacity planning

links to/from asset management

links to/from circuit database


I realise that it can do most of these things out of the box, but what I'm 
interested in is seeing how extensible ZenOSS is to do custom reporting. We'd 
ideally like to be able to create a PDF which would contain the availability, 
performance and  events for a given service or set of services (we provide 
internet connectivity and colo etc..) As long as the data is easy to extract, 
producing the PDF's shouldn't be an issue.

Also how scalable ZenOSS is.. we have a number of POP's. Is it possible to have 
a distributed setup whereby there would be a node in each POP and one 'master 
node'?

Any input greatly appreciated!
