I have had a decent amount of success with Nagios. It is not trivial to setup, but once it is up and running, it has always handled our dependencies and such very well. Additionally, because it calls external programs to do the checks, it is pretty simple to write a script that measures whatever value you would like to monitor. As I said before, it is a pain to set up initially, but after getting it set up, I couldn't be happier with it. Ashe Canvar wrote: > Hi All, > > I want a simple backbone monitor for my 5 datacenters.
