Count me in for wanting to know too. I was not impressed by Zenoss Community and the Enterprise one has a fair price tag per system being monitored so never really attempted to review the Enterprise version. I was playing with http://www.hyperic.com/ but it seems to best play with the monitoring agent which is based on a java environment running on each monitored host, at least the quick look I did with it before. All of our servers are running RHEL v4 or v5 or Ubuntu server (8.04LTS at the moment), though of course would like easy setup to monitor snmp on Cisco 4500 switches, Netapp, F5's, etc. So what is everyone using? :) -- Nevin Lyne -- Founder / Director of Technology -- EngineHosting.com
