Hi All! I am looking for open source softare that one would use in a datacenter. For example, for problem management there are products like RequestTracker and OTRS. For system/network management you have Nagios or Nino. At this point, I am missing assest management, configuration management, and change managment. Granted there is a lot of overlap in each of these, so it I would not necessarily need to find seperate products for each area. If I could find a tool that keep tracl of assets, how each was configured and what changes were made that would address all three issues. I googled and looked on SourceForge, but I really did not find anything that really excited me. I also remember seeing a tool a couple of weeks ago (I thought on SourceForge) that was the "all-in-one" datacenter tool, that had alot of the features in one product. I having been digging through all sorts of different types of products on SF, but I cannot find it again. Any help is greatly appreaciated.

I wrote one a few years ago that is php/mysql based. It is a DYNAMIC database. We were hired by the local school district here to create a specific Computer Asset Management application for the to track their computers/configurations. Exactly what your looking for. I know from past experience that the client would be changing the database fields often and randomly. So I wrote this to be like Access for Windows. You can create any type of field you want and populate forms with those fields, edit avaiable choices, restrict users, mark fields as mandatory, create reports, etc. I don't know what the current status with it is. We still use it here at my new job to track our Manufacturing / Service inventory and task history. I wrote an email to my former company to see if they would mind if I gave you a copy of the source..... You can check out what they say yourself as well. original project was called CAMS and looks like they've made a different spin for an app called FED-PRO. Information can be found here http://www.io-solutions.com/infosol.htm After delivering the CAMS application, I was working on polishing up the maintenence side of things for public release which would have been this project www.webdbs.com but looks like it hasn't changed for a couple of years.

Definately a different spin. Looks useful, but obviously not what I had intended.

All I get is "coming soon". Oh, well. Thanks for the info. regards, jimmo - --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
