Website and Server Monitoring Tool

Hello guys,

I am developing a monitoring tool that will run from the web, it will monitor external (http,icmp,tcp) and internal resources (cpu, mem, hd, processes) i wanna ask for you to check the preview of the tool here on my blog and tell me what you think about it.

Thanks

 

Are you using any sottware like nagios as back end , or is it from scratch ?

 

Don't reinvent the wheel, just use Zabbix

 

This is a pretty saturated marketplace with some free power hitters like Nagios, Zabbix, Groundwork, and Hyperic. Good luck with your project. I think if you focus on ease of use and target the middle ground from monitoring a single server to monitoring say a 100 servers you will have good success. There are few click and configure tools out there for the small (<20) mid-size (<100) network deployment.

 

Its from scratch, is something more like monitis.com had you ever heard about it?

 

For someting that is very graphicall and super easy to setup, you probably are looking for some good $$$.

I been using Nagios, its VERY customizable and scalabale, but its not the prittiest thing to look at!

 

I prefer pingdom.

 

I tried monitis.com but found it clumsy. I think it could be very powerful but would only be attractive to techies or larger organizations. Pingdom's success comes from the ease of use and targeting the SMB/SOHO/Enthusiast. Sometime beyond pingdom but less than monitis is certainly lacking in the marketplace. (Also don't name it monitis, sounds like something you go to the doctor for).

 

We trying in our company Nagios, but it is very hard to time of installation maintanence and user-interface is very very terrible.

Now we use Graphs and Alerts from start-up called Bijk.com - it's free version of Nagios graphs with simple and easy installation.

And with web 2.0 interface for our clients - opposed to Nagios, which have perhaps 10 years old interface.
