Featured Open Source Components Of GroundWork Monitor
The GroundWork product family integrates key Open Source projects to create a flexible monitoring framework that is easy to install, deploy and adapt to your needs. The GroundWork Monitor product incorporates many well respected system monitoring projects such as Nagios and RRDtool. The Network Management Suite includes network monitoring projects including Cacti and NeDi. We're also fans of the Ganglia project for grid and cluster monitoring.
Cacti |
Cacti, the ultimate IT monitoring trending tool, takes data generated by RRDtool, in a compact data format that has become the defacto standard for storing trend data, and graphs the data, plain and simple. Cacti's user interface is functional and elegant with lots of useful bells and whistles: for example, re-scaling a graph is quick and intuitive. |
Ganglia |
Ganglia is a monitoring system designed from the ground up for scalability and interoperability: it uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high concurrency. Initially designed for large-scale computing environments such as clusters and grids, it's appropriate for many small-and-mid sized sites as well. |
Nagios*® |
Nagios is a tried and true open source monitoring tool providing these core monitoring functions. Key to Nagios' runaway popularity is its plugin architecture that allows anyone to write a compatibility script for any device or service, greatly simplifying the process of integrating into a monitoring setup.
|
NeDi |
NeDi discovers, maps and inventories the computer hardware connected to your network. It contains a lot of features and capability in a friendly program for managing enterprise networks.
|
RRDtool |
RRDtool offers the perfect way for persisting, aging and graphing time series data from many possible sources. Everything from Java garbage collection rates to the time it takes users to log in to a web application can be captured, graphed and compared.
