[BLUG] Nagios + Cacti, or just Zenoss?

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,
Steven Black

Re: [BLUG] stupidity filter

Hey, that's pretty cool. It seems like a natural evolution of
Slashdot's "lameness filter".
