Nagios, Nagios, and Nagios. That answers the 3 requirements. Well the third can be done with a few addon programs. Several larger ISP's that I deal with use it. As well as a large adult company I used to work for. They monitor almost 300 machines with 2 nagios servers.

Hello Don Gurus...
I'm looking to install a network monitoring and system stats tool. on 5 independent office networks. All are served by SUSE servers.
A quick check of the SUSE delivered tools I find:
argus, big sister, mon, and nagios
Now I'm a SUSE fan 'cause of all the preconfigured software, but...
What I'm looking for is :
- I would like the people inside each (office) network to be able to view their statics localy, (20%)
- I'd like to have a system at my office to monitor the remote networks, with notification of error conditions (30%).
- the system stats should include historical charts of server (linux) CPU/DISK usage. (30%)
The rest is nice to have, cosmetics, ease of configuration etc.
Now to my questions:
Can anybody out there share his/her experience with one or more of these tools, to help me decide on which to evaluate?
all tips, warnings, experience appreciated....
Jerry
