We use Puppet a lot and are generally quite happy. We have recently started leveraging Hiera which is addressing our main issue we had with Puppet: Reusability problems in the code since Modules (code) and our data were not easily separated.
A lot of these tools are about integrating / presenting but that isn't entirely the case. Status does its own polling of things like Redis and SQL. Realog parses the data, structures it in Redis etc, and the patching dashboard can kick of updates.
- dvanduzer 13y agoStatus handles the scheduling of the polling, or the actual polling, or both? One thing Nagios handles well, although it isn't exactly well polished, is distribution, scheduling, and aggregation of the polling. Also, anecdotally, "nobody" seems to know how easy it is to do simple-intermediate monitoring of MS-SQL in Nagios. I happen to be using this, at the moment: https://github.com/scot0357/check_mssql_collection https://github.com/scot0357/check_mssql_collection edit: And thank you for the concise explanation of Hiera. I had entirely ignored it as just another add-on as Puppet "goes enterprise"
