| *** | gizmoguy has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) | [01:08] |
| ......................................... (idle for 3h24mn) | ||
| grody | munin is pretty
grody uses RRDtool | [04:32] |
| ...... (idle for 28mn) | ||
| brycec | Oh sure munin is nice. So is nagios/opsview. And cacti. And I use them all. But I didn't think that munin (or the others) really meets their desire for host ping monitoring (while keeping it simple) | [05:00] |
| ...... (idle for 28mn) | ||
| grody | :)
i had all kinds of fun with cacti | [05:28] |
| ............. (idle for 1h4mn) | ||
| mercutio | i like cacti | [06:32] |

| pyvpx | smokeping is exactly that
but I find ICMP ping'ing hosts to be of little value | [06:55] |
| ........ (idle for 37mn) | ||
| mercutio | you could do tcp pinging with hping with smokeing
i use curl with smokeping i didn't really read what was said before, but it does sound like smokeping is what he wants pyvpx: also icmp isn't of little value, its' just not the be all and end all.. | [07:32] |
| pyvpx | ICMP is of great value
that I don't contest! I just don't see value in solely pinging hosts w/ ICMP for the effort involved, what does it get you? | [07:37] |
| mercutio | it tends to show transit congestion quite easily
shows when people are getting ddos'ed and poor network availability i use smokeping with small ping size and curl to some known servers curl uses lots of bandwidth but yeah ping can stay the same and curl change | [07:40] |

| jpalmer | brycec: I used to use opsview at my last place. not too long after I left, opsview announced the free edition was going away
brycec: did they change their minds, or are you paying or it, or using an old version? | [09:46] |
| ................... (idle for 1h33mn) | ||
| brycec | jpalmer: Last I knew, there was still a free version. you had to jump through a hoop or two (email signup form?) to get it, but it was still there, and... limited. Much more limited than Opsview had been. For awhile, I kept running the older Opsview (pre-rename), but eventually stopped bothering due to the amount of maintenance it needed (it seemed as if a slave was always becoming disconnected)
outweighing my need for it. Those places I did need something like it, I moved to monit (and mmonit) I will say that Opsview made a real fine GUI for Nagios, and the master+slave nodes feature was a really great one. (Oh not to mention that it was surprisingly "heavy" resource requirement-wise.) Hm, I think I heard that BigBrother is still around... | [11:20] |

| grody | some little wannabe has been slowly port scanning my irc host
i dont know whether to laugh or cry at the sheer stupidity there is like, one port open on this IP - and his IP got blocked at the 4000th probe roughly | [14:33] |

| mercutio | there is xymon | [15:37] |
| kellytk | mercutio: Xymon (http://xymon.sourceforge.net/) looks interesting, thanks for the heads up. It seems generalized like collectd. Ideally I would like to find or either custom build a tool which monitors large numbers of hosts from a more rudimentary network perspective
Application layer is beyond the scope of interest as I have it | [15:39] |
| mercutio | why not just use one of the existing monitoring systems
like pingdom etc. | [15:41] |
| kellytk | It's a service I need to have in house | [15:42] |
| brycec | Oh man I had totally forgotten about xymon | [15:53] |
| mercutio | xymon is nice and efficient | [15:58] |
| kellytk | I would be interested to know how it compares to collectd in that regard | [16:08] |
