Hello users!
I am transitioning my infrastructure back-ends from Windows to Gentoo
Linux. The next server to be transitioned is our infrastructure
monitoring server.
Currently, we're using WebWatchBot. Its abilities that we use are:
- Monitoring Internet connection up/down (we have 4 Internet connections)
- Monitoring website (which we host on a 3rd party webhosting) by
searching for a keyword using HTTP
- Monitoring free space on other servers (mostly Windows-based, thuse
we use WMI)
- Monitoring services on Windows-based servers (again, WMI)
- Sending alerts to selected groups (PICs) when failure exceeds a
threshold (e.g., Systems group will receive alerts for their database
servers, Infrastructure group will receive all alerts)
Can you recommend a suitable monitoring system for Gentoo?
Nagios still works well for me. And it'll do some wmi stuff, IIRC. I've
been using a combination of Mysql backed Puppet with stored resources
for system management. Then push Nagios configs to the Nagios server via
tags in Puppet. Still working to get it right, but it's about there.
Next step is to get collectd working with Nagios as well.
