Monitoring

HI,

I am looking for an open source tool which can monitor and displays the CPU usage, network usage, memory usage, disk usuage etc graphically. Also the tool must preserve the data for historical view. I beleive nagios can not do this but don't know with a plugin. Ideas?

Thanks!
Paras.

Yes, it can do it, as can Big Brother.

I've had good luck with Zenoss (the free open source version of it). It uses snmp and or ssh, so there's no plugin required. I've had good luck monitoring linux systems with this, but I can only get it to do the most basic windows monitoring. If that's OK for you, it's a good chice.

Also, if you're running VMWare they distribute a prebuilt VM

This site has a bunch of fairly easy tutorials out there for you to follow.
