depends on what monitoring and type of monitoring you need to do eg RADAR - well, you know what that does ;-) NAGIOS/Solarwinds - can be used for a multitude of things - eg testing authentication works (RADIUS plugins), using SNMP to monitor server, using PING to check server is alive, using SNMP/NRPE etc to check that the server has >5% free disk space etc splunk - view logs - particularly syslogs - of course, only handy if you've configured logging and syslogging ;-) munin/RTG/Cacti - view graphs showing numbers of authentications - successful or failed, server uptime, disk space (trend graphs) monit - process checker - restart the services if they arent there, report/alert if they fail my personal favourites are NAGIOS, logwatch, syslog-NG, monitand munin. I cant see why you'd pay for such tools when the free ones are far more powerful and flexible ;-) - of course, you might be limited by what platform you run RADIATOR on - if you run on Windows, for example, there are other options for monitoring, alerts, log viewing etc alan _______________________________________________ radiator mailing list radiator@open.com.au http://www.open.com.au/mailman/listinfo/radiator
