Hy guys

i have 100 servers in 5 differents datacenters include ev1/theplanet. we need a software to monitoring that servers (notifications with services/server down, packet loss, etc) because we have SLA's with our clients . we have tried nagios, zabbix and others. anyone knows other software paied or not to do this? what software ev1server/theplanet use in this case?


Best regards.

Personally what I would do, is make one box into a monitoring box. Then write a bunch of scripts/programs to check your servers every few minutes. Since you have 100 servers, you could probably check all of your servers once ever 2 or 3 minutes. Even more so if you chose to be anal about it.

As for commercially available software, unfortunately I don't know of any, maybe some of these other guys do.

Thanks for your reply jjhurani.
How theplanet monitoring servers of managed clients and see when some server its down or with problems? Some service fail and doesn't run?

We use nagios and it works fine for us. It does take awhile to do the initial configuration and get used to it but overall works good and there is a wide selection of plugins available - or you could always code your own.
