No. IBM has a general strategy to "suck you in" |
| 7 |
so caveat emptor...... You really wan to install |
| 8 |
IBM binaries on any machine? (Think NSA). |

Nagios has been under numerous stresses for |
| 13 |
quite some time, for a variety of reasons, imho. |
| 14 |
Forking, Borking, and Porking out is what I see |
| 15 |
of Nagios; ymmv. |

jffnms is well written, modular and quite responsive |
| 18 |
to the individual's (organization's) needs, imho. |
| 19 |
All in source code form. |

Last time I checked, there was a new (recent) ebuild |
| 22 |
for jffnms. Patches are easy to apply and I think |
| 23 |
(Gentoo) folks are starting to use jffnms much more. |
| 24 |

| 25 |
Check it out, most are happy with it, and find it |
| 26 |
easy (particulary with SNMP 1,2.3) to install and extend. |

Specific software stacks probably need specific (customized) |
| 29 |
monitoring (hacks) tools, that are modified form existing |
| 30 |
open source solutions? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Here's a solution, cheap and clean using htop: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
htop | recode utf-8 > test.txt |
| 35 |
cat test.txt |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Surely a little research and you can some cool hacks? |
