I've done a fair amount of telephone work, and have gotten by without a
butt set. The Toner and Punch down tool you can get from monoprice
pretty cheaply:

This is the cheapest kit I've seen (about $200) that has what you need but
not a lot extra:

The one thing I'd say it's missing, for a basic kit, is a type 66 blade for

Hi all,
So, the person who up to now has been managing our phone system is
moving on. It looks like I'm going to have to take on that
responsibility for a while if not permanently. Said person had all his
own tools, which are of course going with him.
Can anyone recommend a decent tool set
I am happy with Munin. It's simple and gives me what I need on Linux and
Windows. Sounds like it will do what you're asking too. Munin doesn't have a
nice dashboard so keeping 100+ servers on one screen might not fit on your
screen. I haven't try their latest version but heard that they have a b

I'll throw my two cents here in as well...
We have a Nagios 3.0.6 installation here. My take on Nagios is that
given enough time and hackery, it will do just about anything you think
of. We kind of hit a wall with it as far as monitoring services /
parameters on Windows systems, however -- we cobb

I would highly recommend looking into check_mk and OMD. Check_mk is a
really nice plugin for nagios that makes setting up client machine to
monitor far easier than the usual nagios methods (nrpe for linux/unix &
nsclient for windows). Once the client is installed it will do a discovery

Nagios is and can be a centralized monitoring/alerting system. You need
those dependencies on the host for it to run, but not on each host you want
to monitor.
Once you get it installed, you can make checks with SSH or run a "client"
on each server, including windows.
The thing I really like about

Oh - I like server density, but I'm deploying for a startup who has enough
infrastructure to BYO, and would prefer to avoid the recurring service cost.

I've used zenoss before. Didn't like it. We had problems with the accuracy of
metrics (I think it buffer overflowed or something, getting disk usage on a
several TB volume, reported things like -50% full) ... even though
"technically" it could allow you to create custom metrics via ssh and so
