Hello, all.
Which of the many Monitoring and Reporting systems out there
would you recommend for setting for a non-network/computer metric ?
In the past I've used a couple of (open-source)
monitoring systems like Nagios and Cacti,
and I've installed and played around more than a few...
But I have a need for monitoring and generating alerts
for something completely outside the domain
of "host availabilty / CPU load / network utilization / etc."
The domain is completely specific, but think... stock prices.
Functional requirements on alerting include:
- generate an alert when value
= has changed "significantly" since last value
(i.e., abs(val-lastval) > threshold_percent)
= has changed "significantly" since initial value for period
(think... comparison with start of trading day)
= "absolutely significant"
(i.e., exceeds a threshold)
- alerts should be sent by e-mail
- alerts should include values, description of alert condition
and an up-to-date graph of the value time series.
The only other real requirement would be to support plugins
for data gathering, since they obviosuly would have to be custom.
Everyhing else is negotiable, even the existence of web presentation
of the data: only the alerting is of importance.
So, which of the monitoring systems gives you more freedom
and does not box you in the computer/service/network mentality ?
