Which monitoring tool are you using?

I did setup once a nagios system for the Republic of Philippines Department of Agriculture to monitor the servers, network switches, routers and other equipments.  Nagios is the Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring system that enables the system administrators, network administrators, database administrators and ICT management to proactively act on  issues arising from downtime and failures. Nagios system will immediately notify any problems and downtime which triggers action from the concerned technical staffs or service providers.  Having this type of solutions increase the service uptime and improve service delivery to our customers and end users.


Features of the system included but not limited to the following:

• Monitor your entire IT infrastructure
• Spot problems before they occur
• Know immediately when problems arise
• Share availability data with stakeholders
• Detect security breaches
• Plan and budget for IT upgrades
• Reduce downtime and business losses

Servers and services are increasing,  to meet the expectation of our client there must be some ways to monitor  our infrastructure.
With nagios almost all the features you need is already there, you just need a little tweak on the configuration.
