Linux graphical performance monitoring tools for large server deployment

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to know what's the most publicly installed or widely used Linux system performance monitoring software that is available and compatible with Ubuntu 64 bit ?

I've installed Nagios in place for availability report but for the monitoring performance of more than 10 it is impractical to open SSH console running top for each server.

what I'd like to monitor is:
1. Disk space issue.
2. Resource hog.
3. Failed root / sudo login attempt.
4. anything else here ?

any kind of suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You can monitor performance of servers from nagios without opening SSH consoles to each server. I am not sure why you would open ssh consoles without seeing more of your nagios config. I personally use snmp to get information on disk, memory, cpu stats, internal temprature and bandwidth. snmp traps can capture the login attempts, or the nagios nrpe module can also give you the same data

ah, so everything can be monitored through Nagios ? just by isntalling the NRPE in the linux ?

i forgot to mention, check_snmp is a great tool that doesnt require you to install services on your remote servers. I use it mostly for monitoring routers and switches since most small business to enterprise level network equipment has snmp support.

ok, so for example I've created Linux VM can I include the Nagios Client inside the VM as template install ?
