Monitoring servers for problems
Hi, I have heard that a product called Dell Openmanage exists to monitor events such as disk space usage, I/O rates, cpu utilization etc. Does any one know of this and where I can find more information on it. Are there other ways I can do this on SUSE 8 and 9 boxes. We do some checking on AIX and Solaris servers. Any help would be appreciated.

I have used a package called BigBrother in the past, I think BigSister is what it is now called. It would do many different tests/checks and had the ability to page if something went south.
From YaST:
Big Sister is a clone of Sean MacGuire's Big Brother. Its primary functions are: monitor networked systems provide a simple view of the current network status generate alarms on status changes generate a history of status changes inter-operate with other Big Sister or Big Brother instances or foreign network monitors (such as HP Openview) Hope this helps. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
