While I agree with many of the respondents that Nagios will do most of what you want through the plugins (though I'm relatively new to Nagios), I just wanted to toss a couple of others out there.
* OSSEC (http://ossec.net) is a host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS). It is primarily email-based, but also has a bolt-on web interface. From the website: "OSSEC is an Open Source Host-based Intrusion Detection System. It performs log analysis, file integrity checking, policy monitoring, rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response. It runs on most operating systems, including Linux, MacOS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Windows." The other one, Munin (http://munin-monitoring.org/), is a networked resource monitoring tool that can help analyze resource trends and "what just happened to kill our performance?" problems. It is designed to be very plug and play. A default installation provides a lot of graphs with almost no work. --b On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 9:10 AM, Stanisław Findeisen <stf.list.debian.u...@eisenbits.com> wrote: > Hi > > What tools would you recommend for monitoring the following on a server? : > > * kernel + process images in memory > * shape of the process tree > * binary integrity of files + permissions > * network connections > * users, groups > * user sessions > * log files > * ... > > I think this calls for a customizable solution with plugins (or so).
