Can anyone recommend an enterprise-class monitoring system for both Linux and Windows servers? Here are my requirements:
SNMP trap collection, ability to import custom MIBs isup/isdown monitoring of ports and daemons Server health monitors (CPU, Disk, Memory, etc) SLA reporting with nice graphs Pager/Email/SMS alerts with groups, filters and escalations Built-in MTBF and MTTR reporting Robust parent-child relationships between monitors or probes. For example, the system must be smart enough to know that if 25 URLs have gone down all at once, that they belong to an apache process that has died. I don't want 25 alerts, I want *one* alert telling me that the parent apache daemon is down. Ability to easily create dashboards from various monitors. We want this so we can see all components of a website in one place, eg, apache URL, database server, disk storage, etc. Attractive, easy to use GUI. We don't want a homebrew project with ugly graphs and a web 1.0 GUI.
So far the products I have looked at are: NimBUS SolarWinds IP Monitor WhatsUPGold GroundWork Open Source Nagios
And none of them have met all my requirements. Any suggestions?
What was wrong with IP Monitor?
It seems to have everything you mentioned, plus a SOAP interface for designing external dashboards.
We use it here and it works well.
