Server paging utility

[Jordan, Jason A]

Yes, I have nagios running as part of the Sentinix distro.  In my testing with various IT 
management, the multi-layered
approach of BB from simplistic (green=good, red=bad) to detailed log messages works better.

Plus, its impressive to show every server's status in one view (even your Windows boxes) with 
highly customizable
monitoring for each server.

I've added elements of MRTG in as well to cover our routers and some custom scripting is parsing 
syslog-ng messages as
well.

There is also Nagios http://www.nagios.org/, formerly known as NetSaint.

Look at bigbrother.  www.bb4.com 

I use it to monitor over 200 linux servers.  I can give you some advise on configuration as well.
