M/Monit

[Joerg Bashir]

I'm curious about the worry about Nagios.  I'm running monit everywhere
to keep the nodes health/happy.  In addition, Nagios at the Archive is
currently watching 1625 hosts and 22608 services all from one machine.

The only performance "modification" we made was to use a php script to
parse the log files for the status page instead of relying on the cgi's.

Secondly, since it was a php page, we embedded links to "recheck all
stuff on this host".

As far as automated recovery is concerned, there is one particular
service check, which, on failure, will invoke another nrpe check which
isn't really a check, but rather an RPC to poke at a service.

Anyway, I would like to see M/Monit as well, but given the less than 1
day setups of other tools available, it's not quite a desperate
situation.
