[BBLISA] Server monitoring tools?

[Sean Lutner]

It might be helpful to provide a list of the metrics you're looking  
to track for any given system you'll be monitoring. I assume, since  
Nagios wasn't a fit, that you are looking more for a historical data  
storage tool that can be used for capacity planning and time period  
based performance monitoring.

Something like cacti (http://cacti.net) fits this bill quite nicely.  
It provides an SNMP interface, and is agentless and can also use any  
custom script or data gathering method you might have. It's very easy  
to install and configure as well.
