]]> What to do? I’ve been playing with the open source version of hyperic for a while now. While I still revert to MRTG for an immediate view of what’s going on with my key servers, I do like the hyperic interface.

Nagios and OpenNMS are my front runners right now. I’ll be test driving Nagios over the next couple of days, see if it can fulfill all our requirements for hardware and service monitoring. OpenNMS looks to be more geared to >1 support staff, and may be the way to go a little bit further down the road.
