For those of you who haven't seen Hyperic, think of Nagios with a fancy web UI including notification management, scheduled tasks, historical reporting, and specific monitioring tools for PostgreSQL databases and other common applications. As a comparison, Nagios::Hyperic --> ed::vi or amanda::Arkieka The one hitch there is that all of this functionality would require that Hyperic have a server to collect data and run the web interface -- it has substantial resource consumption. Possibly Hyperic LLC would supply this too, in exchange for a case study, but we'd have to ask them. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
