dear gurus

can some one advise either on linux or windows, server/network manage software.

say each server we can watch the cpu,memory,network card in/out speed, overload etc, any warning.

can someone give the best names, either free or paid both.

kind regards

Hello,

Are you looking for management software or monitoring software? I'm thinking the latter. For that I can advice Nagios or if you don't feel at ease with the CLI, then you could use GroundWork Community Edition which is build around Nagios and is very easy to setup and use.

Kind regards,

Eric

MRTG and cacti useful for graphing
