hi... i'm in need of a web based monitoring app for what may turn into a group of 10-20 client machines.. but i tmight grow over time, so i'd like the solution to be somewhat scalable... i've looked/reviewd some of the apps mentioned in the other threads... and they have some benefits, but nagio appears to be suited, given it's web based functionality... however, i wanted to know if anybody had thoughts about any other app which might meet my initial needs/criteria. the app i'll need will need to allow me to essentially monitor machines that will be used in a distributed environment. the client machines will be running various apps, and communicating with an nfs share, as well as a box running a mysql db... i'd like to be able to determine when the individual boxes within the network are running, as well as the status of key apps being run on the individual boxes which implies some sort of bidirectional communication between client box and monitoring machine/app. i had initially envisioned some form of master monitoring function (web based for easy accessibility) that utlized a group of perl scripts on both the client/monitoring box.. nagio appears to fit, as it seems to have the ability to create my own "monitoring plugin" functions. which also implies that i might be able to rip out waht i don't need from the existing architecture... i'm not really in need of monitoring actual traffic flow, just more or less if the machines are up/status, and if the given processes on the machines are running.. of course, i'd also like to be able to do remote management of a given client app if possible!!!! i'm trying not to get too locked in to one app, only to realize that it's not going to come anywhere close to solving my issues.. i can provide additional information on what i'm aiming for if what i've said has been confusing! thoughts/comments/welcome... thanks -bruce
