[olug] Open source monitoring system?

[Craig Wolf]

I have Linux/Windows servers now and once I figure out how to deploy it to NetWare and OS X, I will more than double the # of hosts.  I WAS running Nagios 2 on an HP 6120 laptop at my desk with 250+ hosts and around 1000 services, until I hosed it.  8)  It only had 1GB of ram and a single core intel proc...just as a reference.

We use nagios to monitor our HPC cluster.  That's about ~200 workers,
and 20+ service machines.  The 'tactical' page says 236 hosts with 2553
service checks.  We don't have any windows machines in that group
though.
