Monitoring Solution

Hi
Our organization has a lot of IT systems ( OLTP, MIS, Exadata, EMV, noncore ... ) - running diferrent platforms ( AIX, Linux, Sun, Win Server, ...), each system has its own monitoring tool designed by its manufacturer. We also write some shell scripts to do it manually. But we don't have a complete solution for all the systems, and we're looking for it.

Could you give me some softwares ,tools, solutions ... ( which can be tested first ) to solve our problem. Thank you

snmp is your friend. A lot of those "tools" are not much more than "pretty" snmp based tools. Cacti might be an ok option just because the community often has add-ons for many enterprise things (like switches, routers, SAN, storage, hypervisors).

If you study what others have done you'll find you can write or modify Cacti to fit specific needs.

Could you give me a software, a name ... that I can find to test. Thanks

Hi,

I'd be tempted with xymon as a free solution, although I'm not sure about how it does in the Windows world.
