Good Monitoring Tool

Hello,

I'm looking for a monitoring software for servers, VMware (ESX 4), SAN (NetApp N-series) and also log management.  Any good suggestion?

Thanks!

Hi,

http://www.zenoss.com/ is a good one, you have a full view of your virtual setup. An easy setup as well.
If you have a budget to spend, Veeam Monitor is the best for VMware.

Veeam Monitor v5

http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-monitoring.html

Trails are available to download for Veeam Monitor.

For NetApp

System Manager

Operations Manager

You'll need to speak to your NetApp Reseller or Partner, to get trials above the above.
I am using WhatsUp Gold Network Management Software
http://www.whatsupgold.com/

You can download and try it FREE for 30-days...
For log management and analysis you can use Microsoft Log Parser???
It's a handy tool for querying nearly all kinds of log files...

Log Parser 2.2

Well the choice is yours, but you you are looking for a good and professional one... Go for the very best of them, go for Nagios.

Huge community out there (which mean free support and you will never get stuck), hundreds of plunging, Open source project, used by few top 500 biggest company in the world (including: yahoo), ability to execute an action when an event happen, alerting via mail and SMS.

I did implement Nagios with success in our company as well, and we are now monitoring over a 350 Machines/devices  and over thousand services and hardware status.

No really don't do the mistake to implement another solution, Nagios IS the way to go.

I really hope that you heard my voice,
Best regards,
Angel.
