Hi, On a similar scenario I chose newt. 1. IMHO, it looks very good considering it's a tui. 2. For Linux people it looks familiar and professional as red hat had used it for years in the installation (anaconda) and configuration tools (system-config-*). 3. The python binding is very good. - Noam

console widgets without X

Hi, I have a marketing problem. Imagine a linux box running in runlevel 3, no X. I want to have a special user who is only allowed to configure a few things on the console (physcal, VMware, whatever), but - marketing put their collective foot down hard here - the interface must "look nice". Defin

I vote for Zenoss Core (http://www.zenoss.org/) - takes care of both performance monitoring & events/alerts, with very flexible events processing. For some reason less popular in Israel when Zabbix, but has very impressive list of US customers. regards, Vitaly PS: presented Zenoss for ILTechTalk

Zabbix, nagios (which focuses more on alerts/checks but can be extended to graph) or cacti (which focuses more on graphing but can be extended to do alerts) are all excellent solutions. Amos - can you add a TL;DR about your mail? Regards, Eliyahu - אליהו 2014-06-16 11:44 GMT+03:00 Rabin Yasharz

How do you configure zabbix outside its GUI? As far as I saw so far it's not possible so you have to point and click your way through its gui. Most of what I wrote against nagios is relevant to Zabbix as well - central server etc. On 16 Jun 2014 17:49, "Rabin Yasharzadehe" wrote: > I can recommen

I can recommend Zabbix, I was never used it on a large network (~30 server most), but i was happy with it. - you can set the monitoring interval for each item (from 1s -> days) - samples are stored in the DB, and graphs are plotted only when you need them - have a build in support for SMS and Jabb
