<DIV>I have been tasked with evaluating Nagios as a replacement for Command Post (we call it compost!). They want $140,000 to upgrade and buy additional licenses for our servers!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am past the initial setup phase and our Director is impressed by what he sees. I am monitoring Novell, Windows (2000, XP), Linux, and Unix without any issues. However, the Intel Team Leader wants to be able to monitor what I call "environmentals." They currently use:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Insight Manager (HP),</DIV>
<DIV>Open Manage (Dell), and</DIV>
<DIV>Director (IBM).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These tools, however, do not, as far as I know, contact you when certain events occur such as:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>High CPU, chassis temperatures,</DIV>
<DIV>Redundant power supply failures, or</DIV>
<DIV>hardware failures (disk failure in RAID array).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was hoping someone could start by pointing me in the right direction for monitoring these "environmentals" in Nagios. I would need to monitor these in Windows and Novell environments.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.</DIV>
