[ale] [EXTERNAL] Re: Monitoring Solutions

[Allen Beddingfield]

I will also recommend Zabbix.  Installing, updating, and maintaining is a breeze, and it can be as simple or complex as you need.  It has the look and feel of an expensive commercial product, without the price tag.

I second (or third, or fourth) Zabbix. Basic installs are fairly easy and cover a lot of what you would expect. And it can get very extensive once you dig deeper.

SGI / HPE clusters use Nagios for internal monitoring.
