We've used Zabbix for 5 years to monitor about 200 servers/computers and 100 networked devices using a combination of TCP pings, SNMP, HTTP, SSH and the resident agent.
It's really well thought, flexible beyond what we use, and configurable entirely from a web interface. There aren't good alternative to the web interfaces, though, so projects of this kind are nice.

It's about the first time[#] Zabbix is configurable from anything but web interface, so hard to call it "well thought". Add to that the silly '90s idea of the operator needing to define hosts in advance to monitor them and (if the authors haven't changed it) SQL database as a data store for metrics. It's as meh as Icinga/Nagios or Zenoss, all stuck in the same time with regards to their architectures. [#] I used it five years ago, so I may be unaware of some development.
- kawsper 10y agoWhat would you recommend?
- dozzie 10y agoThe sad part is that nobody writes monitoring systems anymore, so it's hard to find anything better out of the box. What I would recommend for monitoring system is to put some thinking and try to write a declarative one designed around the idea of stream processing.
