Best Free Network/Asset Monitoring Software
by danmartinj from LinuxQuestions.org on (#510ZS)
Hello,
I was hoping to get some feedback regarding best tools out there for monitoring network assets. The assets I would like monitored are primarily RedHat and Debian based systems.
I have some experience as I played with Nagios many years ago. Instinctively, I would consider this tool, however my feeling is it might not be a good tool for a professional work environment (not hardened enough and not modern enough). I have been seeing a lot of good reviews on Zabbix but I know very little about it. Maybe someone wiser in this area can provide some good insight, advice, or comments?
Thanks again,
Joe
