monitoring thousands of servers using Nagios

[Ben]

Well, Nagios as an alerting engine is up to the task, assuming you run it
on really beefy hardware and/or use distributed monitoring. Nagios as a
web dashboard is another issue, because the CGIs that Nagios comes with do
not scale. However, I wrote a SQL/PHP-based replacement for Nagios 2 that
lets me monitor 2500 servers and 6000 services quickly and easily.... it
should scale quite well.
