No. IBM has a general strategy to "suck you in" so caveat emptor...... You really wan to install IBM binaries on any machine? (Think NSA). > It looks like a substitute for Nagios. Nagios has been under numerous stresses for quite some time, for a variety of reasons, imho. Forking, Borking, and Porking out is what I see of Nagios; ymmv. jffnms is well written, modular and quite responsive to the individual's (organization's) needs, imho. All in source code form. Last time I checked, there was a new (recent) ebuild for jffnms. Patches are easy to apply and I think (Gentoo) folks are starting to use jffnms much more. Check it out, most are happy with it, and find it easy (particulary with SNMP 1,2.3) to install and extend. Specific software stacks probably need specific (customized) monitoring (hacks) tools, that are modified form existing open source solutions?
