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.

http://www.nagios.org/ Nagios 1.2 is included with the SuSE distro. Nagios 2.0b4 can be built from source, though I haven't built it into an RPM. Open Source, not OS or hardware dependent, and has a very, very active user community...
