This is a single server or many at different locations.

Most of the packages monitor ram as well as other resource utilization of the servers, firewall, routers and other SNMP devices in your network. some experimentation may be warranted to find what your team likes best. > What tools do you recommend? OH boy. I like JFFNMS very very much. It has a very old version in portage (masked) but a very new version out there for Debian and Ubuntu. It runs on all nix, if you want to driectly compile and install. I'll be putting together a new ebuild, as soon as I get it working with the latest postgresql. Mysql works out of the box. Postgresql-9 has many new and very cool features. > Remember: The data will be used for 'post-mortem' analysis, so I don't > need any fancy schmancy presentation. Just raw data, taken every N > seconds. Personally, I have some large, high risk design work going on. JFFNMS and pg9 are the best choices from my research. A whiz like yourself could easily look at the old JFFNMS ebuild and create a new one. PG-9 (please no flame wars on mysql vs pg9) is very cool and what my work is migrating too, once I get some breathing room. Craig at jffnms.org is very cool and responsive. He also works closely with those that submit patches. Nagios is a large, disorder array that had many devs fork off since the project leader (was/is an a_ole) is quite difficult to work with. JFFNMS rules and is very cool for managing cisco and other routers, not to mention a myriad of snmp(1,2.3) devices and all types of servers. The original guy, Javier, was snapped up by someone worth billions, to manage and extend his financial network, but, Craig is probably stronger coder, and extraordinarily nice human being. It's mostly php. Lots of folks extend JFFNMS, Craig keeps it clean and well written and documented code. http://www.jffnms.org/ hth, James
