[13:54] I haven't touched Icinga, but I prefer Monit (and M/Monit) over Nagios fwiw [14:16] k [14:32] Personally, I would still use Nagios because it's what I know. I would do everything possible to not write config for it manually though - I'm a big fan of having your config management system build nagios config at the same time as deploying a service [15:35] *** qbit has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [15:56] i was all excited about having higher upload speed, and now i have nothing to upload. [15:57] monitoring solutions always seem to be a bit messy, most people go with what they're familiar with. [15:58] and like plett said if you can automate config, it makes things simpler if you have a larger environment [15:58] if you have smaller config and want to just check availability you may be better off using external monitoring [15:59] munin is kind of nifty too [16:02] *** qbit has joined #arpnetworks [16:15] Munin is decent for charting, but I find that munin-limits is somewhat terrible, primarily it's surprisingly CPU-heavy. [16:21] well charting is good for passive stuff [16:21] and external monitoring is good for availability [16:21] i'd actually been finding smokeping kind of nifty for alerting too [16:21] like if a web page loads slow [16:52] *** jcv_ has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [16:53] *** jcv has joined #arpnetworks [17:27] *** mjp_ has joined #arpnetworks [18:29] *** tabthorpe has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [18:30] *** tabthorpe has joined #arpnetworks [19:16] I got nagios going for the most part. An annoying permission issue I can't seem to fix [19:17] Apache web server: You don't have permission to access /nagios/index.php on this server. [19:20] sounds like basic apache config [19:42] *** meingtsil has joined #arpnetworks [19:42] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [19:42] *** meingtsil is now known as meingtsla [21:32] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [21:39] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks
