This is slightly OT, but I'm really interested in getting input from the list on monitoring software. I've been out of IT for almost 4 years dealing with some pretty serious medical issues (6 surgeries on my feet in 20 months along with elbow and knee surgeries) and I want to see how much has changed. Before I left IT I used Nagios and BB for network monitoring, but want to see if there is anything new that could replace those in my arsenal or are they still some of the elite software out there. Things change so fast in IT, I want to be sure I'm up to date on all the options and opinions on those options from those who weren't on a sabbatical. I would appreciate any input you might have.
BB is dead. Quest killed it, however have a look at http://xymon.org/ and you will see that it looks a lot like BB except that it has been rewritten and improved. One of the nice things about xymon is that if you have extensions that worked with BB they will most likely work with xymon. I am a big fan of xymon because it is easy to configure and works very well.
