A recent post that mentioned Zabbix inspired me to have a look at them again while I was waiting on something as it’s been a while since I looked at them.
Currently, I was using Nagios but had to start using Munin to add some functionality I needed and don’t want to continue down this road of supporting umpteen different packages.
Between Zabbix, Pandora and HyperIQ, what would anyone familiar with these have to say. HyperIQ looks rather crippled for the FOSS version, Pandora’s website seems to be down☺ Maybe they a monitoring solution, heh…
Any opinions appreciated! jlc

Have you also looked at OpenNMS? It is fairly easy to install on Centos with their yum repository.

CMIW, isn’t OpenNMS only snmp based?
You _want_ agents?! :)
Yeah, OpenNMS is agent-less (last I knew anyways).

Snmp is the best feature but it has an assortment of application tests and can work with nagios agents, WMI, and JMX, and parse syslog messages.

Yeah don’t get me wrong, snmp is a must (I don’t want agent software) but wmi etc is useful. There is only so far you can get w/ snmp from an application level. I didn’t know it it did this, I will surely have another look, thanks for the info!
The one thing I remember about it ages ago when I made the bad move and started w/ Nagios was that the community was strong, a considerable merit for a complex beast like any nms...

Take a look at zenoss too, I am in the process of deploying it as a replacement for a rather elderly and under-resourced Nagios server Liking it a lot so far http://www.zenoss.com/ there's good help on IRC too freenode #zenoss

Does zenoss give you a reasonable way to export data to other tools for reporting or longer term trend analysis? Cacti has a way to get the individual data samples via http. Opennms has a way to get min/max/average over a specified time range. Neither is exactly what I'm looking for, but better than nothing.
An example of what I'd like to do is to find the peak total bandwidth used (at the same time) across a group of interfaces, and be able to do reports of that grouping over long time spans where individual interfaces in the group will change. Or the same for other metrics like CPU use. So far I haven't found any tools that deal with fail-over and load-balance groupings in a reasonable way.

I don't know now but i couldn't define relations manually about 2 years ago. It was a major PITA as if a router fails, you don't want to get 500 alarms for all the devices behind it.
It was supposed to auto discover and do relationship by itself but wasn't able to do it properly with our network: Many VLANs and router / firewall using trunking, etc.
