Hi, What are the best monitoring tools to monitor servers? Doesn't matter if its a free or paid tool. Just want know which one is best and gives best results.
I've used JFFNMS with excellent results. There's also OpenNMS, Nagios and Zabbix just to name a few. All are free and widely used. Check them out and see which one best suits your needs.
Nagios is solid and seems to be becoming the standard in some IT industries. If you are looking for some basic port monitoring services, you can look at things like www.alertra.com or www.hyperspin.com which do not require you to learn a new piece of software like Nagios.
Go for nagios or big brother. For installation of nagios, check out our link http://maestriatech.com/nagios.php
