37. Verax NMS & APM
Verax NMS & APM provides unified, service-oriented management & monitoring of networks, applications and infrastructure ensuring complete visibility and control of all ongoing operations and business services.
Verax NMS & APM supports agent and agentless monitoring. In majority of cases, agentless monitoring (e.g. via JMX or SQL queries) or using standard, vendor-provided agents (such as SNMP agent) are sufficient.
38. Xymon / Hobbit
Xymon offers graphical monitoring, listing the various services of each machine, as well as listing the number of mail messages queued after a defined level of downtime. Statistics are shown graphically for all monitored services.
Monitored hosts require installation of a client, which is also free software, and which forwards monitoring information to a Xymon server. Clients are available for Unix and Linux (in formats including source tarball, RPM and Debian package) from the Xymon download site at Sourceforge. Windows hosts can use the Big Brother and Xymon-compatible BBWin client.
Plugins extend monitoring to new types of applications and services, and many extension scripts for Big Brother will run unchanged on Xymon.
39. Zabbix
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source software for monitoring of networks and applications. It is designed to monitor and track the status of various network services, servers, and other network hardware.
Zabbix uses MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle or IBM DB2 to store data. Its backend is written in C and the web frontend is written in PHP.
Zabbix offers several monitoring options:
- Simple checks can verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or https without installing any software on the monitored host.
- A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc.
- As an alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP, TCP and ICMP checks, as well as over IPMI, JMX, SSH, telnet and using custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of real-time notification mechanisms, including XMPP.
40. ZenOSS
Zenoss (Zenoss Core) is a free and open-source application, server, and network management platform based on the Zope application server.
Released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2, Zenoss Core provides a web interface that allows system administrators to monitor availability, inventory/configuration, performance, and events. Unlike Nagios, Zenoss doesn’t require the administrator to edit configuration files in order to set up monitors for devices
There is one glaring issue with Zenoss and that is with the installation. Give yourself plenty of time and make sure you read the documentation carefully, because installing Zenoss has a fairly lengthy command line component to the installation.
Requirements:
- LAMP Server (Linux, Apache MySQL, PHP)
- net-snmp
- net-smp-utils
- gmp
- libgomp
- libgcj
- liberation-fonts
