[olug] Nagios or ?

[Trent Melcher]

Using the NSClient++ plugin it can monitor the EventLog and many more things
in windows.

I use nagios extensively monitoring about 200 servers and currently only
about 20 network devices but the service checks for all those systems is
about 8000 services being monitored.  We have tied in NagVis and pnp4nagios
to provide graphs for trending and pretty eye candy for customer portals.

When I downloaded Nagios source a few years ago, it included some good
templates that we used in a copy-paste-change fashion. However, while it
included dependencies, a network switch failure gave you one notification
instead of many, when you went to the status board, it would tell you that
many things are down.

It can monitor windows, but I don't remember if it monitored the event log
or what. I do know that we were using it for process presence/alert if
absent.
