Reporting tools for Linux

xmdms · 11-04-2004, 03:29 PM

Greetings,
I am looking for an after market reporting tools that's similiar to Polycenter offered by CA. I am currently using 'SAR' utility within my Linux 2.1 AS server and would like something with graphical reports and have the ability to save the historical data as well. Please let me know if you have something like this running on your site.

Thank you in advance.

use mrtg or nagios.
these require a lot of configuration but are really useful.

Apart from these i used a lot of home grown scripts.... if u want, i can send a couple of them to u

Cheers!

Hi Subhasis,
I would like to monitor CPUs, memory, I/O, etc. Something that I can refer back to when the time comes to justify for an upgrade. I find that my management like to see graphical diagrams more than just black & white numbers. If you can see what's useful to me or have some ideas, please let me know.

Again, thanks for your time.
