Network Monitoring and Alerting?

Posted by Cliff on Monday February 28, 2005 @10:55AM from the centralized-fault-detection dept.

SpamMonkey asks: "At work I am trying to implement a central monitoring and alerting service. We have in excess of 250 Windows servers, approx 15 AIX servers and another 30 Linux servers (mainly SLES/Suse). My investigation into systems that will allow us to monitor critical areas on each of these systems has so far led me to a clustered Linux server running Nagios with passive and active checks. What I'm curious about though is how Slashdot readers are carrying out their own jobs and how they can comfortably sit back, without having to repeatedly check that various systems are still operational and how to cut down their own response times when something goes wrong."
