In today's economic climate, ideas on how to save money are always welcome, especially when it concerns enterprise-class software. Open source network and systems management software vendor GroundWork announced a new program aimed at small businesses and a new pricing structure that makes it easy for companies to hone in on exactly the right choice for their needs.
GroundWork Open Source, which provides commercial open source network management software, has announced the launch of MonitoringForge.org, which it bills as a "unified hub for open source monitoring." While the site is primarily aimed at IT administrators who want to compare open source system and network monitoring tools to proprietary alternatives, it may also serve several useful purposes for open source project leaders that don't have community web sites and need to automate aspects of projects. Here are more details.
I am using a mac and am interested in finding applications that can monitor my wireless network to track the bandwidth speeds. I would also like to receive notifications if the bandwidth falls below a certain threshold and some way to optimize my bandwidth throughput.
Right now I have to periodically power down my linksys WRT54G router couple of times each week because it starts to slow down after a few days of continuous usage. Restarting the router 'resets' the bandwidth as well.
I use a mac and have cable broadband from Comcast.
Suggestions/Help would be really great!
Thanks.
Hi all - Looking for a monitoring/metrics tool that we can integrate into our servers. We are running a bunch of services on Tomcat that communicate via REST. Looking to monitor the standard host level metrics (memory, swap, disk usage, cpu, etc) as well as a bunch of Tomcat metrics (requests queued, throughput, time/request, memory usage, 200s, 404s, etc).
In any case, I started with Nagios but found it a bit unwieldy; has anyone used Hyperic, and if so how does it hold up? Any suggestions for alternatives?
Thanks very much,
anish
