Simple monitoring utility with up/down statuses of the host's network connectivity and services
- by Beaming Mel-Bin
We've looked at many monitoring tools (SolarWinds, Zabbix, Nagios) through out the last 10 years but they never took hold because they are overly complicated. I am willing to try them again or something new at this point but with a much simpler goal:
ping to check up and down of host
tcp probes to test up and down of service
notifications via e-mail
web GUI
prefer an OSS solution
Wanted to know if someone has any recommendations on this.
This could be a Windows or Linux application. Preferably without the reqirement of agents. I don't even need SNMP support but that may be nice for expanding once we have the above mentioned bare minimum in place.
