[BLUG] Nagios + Cacti, or just Zenoss?

[Steven Black]

I saw that people were talking about Nagios and Cacti.

I wanted to mention an alternative, Zenoss. Zenoss calls
itself a "third generation" monitoring tool. It was
designed from the ground up for this goal.

The website is: http://www.zenoss.com/

Features include (from http://www.zenoss.com/product/ ):
    * Configuration Management DB (abbr. CMDB)
    * Inventory and Change Tracking
    * Availability Monitoring
    * Performance Monitoring
    * Event Management
    * Core Reports

I mention this because I'm planning on migrating to Zenoss. It does
more than Nagios+Cacti. It is compatible with any custom Nagios plugins
you may be using. You can also check out the screen shots at
http://www.zenoss.com/product/screenshots -- you'll notice it also
looks great.

Cheers,
