Hi all,
For some system and application monitoring that I needed to throw together quickly I decided to go with Nagios, an open source monitoring framework. And I must say that it absolutely rocks! I am a veteran OpenView (Network Node Manager, IT/Operations) user but I am impressed with the simplicity and power of Nagios...
The power of open source came to the rescue here as well since I needed some HTTP monitoring that Nagios' standard check_http plug-in could not do. With only a little effort I added features for accessing servers through HTTP proxies and using SSL client certificates. For the interested, the modified source code is here (and a patch against CVS HEAD of 15 September is here. |
