mike-bur1 is now known as mike-burns mnathani_: if one was to setup a new monitoring box, would nagios still be preferred over icinga or are they basically the same? brycec: I haven't touched Icinga, but I prefer Monit (and M/Monit) over Nagios fwiw mnathani_: k plett_: 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 ***: qbit has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) mercutio: i was all excited about having higher upload speed, and now i have nothing to upload.
monitoring solutions always seem to be a bit messy, most people go with what they're familiar with.
and like plett said if you can automate config, it makes things simpler if you have a larger environment
if you have smaller config and want to just check availability you may be better off using external monitoring
munin is kind of nifty too ***: qbit has joined #arpnetworks brycec: Munin is decent for charting, but I find that munin-limits is somewhat terrible, primarily it's surprisingly CPU-heavy. mercutio: well charting is good for passive stuff
and external monitoring is good for availability
i'd actually been finding smokeping kind of nifty for alerting too
like if a web page loads slow ***: jcv_ has quit IRC (Quit: leaving)

tabthorpe has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: I got nagios going for the most part. An annoying permission issue I can't seem to fix
Apache web server: You don't have permission to access /nagios/index.php on this server. mjp_: sounds like basic apache config ***: meingtsil has joined #arpnetworks
