Hello,

Wondering what monitoring software you guys use?
We want to monitor our five servers, firewall and gateway. Want it to be as fully featured as possible.

Nagios looks good but time consuming to set up - is this accurate?
www.hybodus.com looks good
www.servernanny.com is a Windows app which i'm trying out, seems ok, but ideally i'd like to host it on linux so I can run it remotely so if our adsl connection dies our monitoring doesnt. (in fact, it would tell us the adsl was down)

Cheers,
Chris.

We have used Nagios for many years now and do agree it takes a while to get into it.

We could do this monitoring for you if you want for a small fee :-)

Try www.opennms.org

It's good, quite powerful. Downside is it needs Tomcat server, but there are some good guides on setting it up.

I've been using Cuevision Network Monitor for a while now and it is very reliable, has nice reporting, graphs, etc. Also, the newest version has some discovery features which makes setting it up very fast.

nagios takes a while to setup, but its not that bad once you get the hang of it, and best of all its free
