cacti (cacti.net) is a nice web-based frontend for snmp (and other)
monitoring, it's not realtime by default, but updates every 5 minutes. that
can be changed however to better suit your needs.

Have a look at nagios.

It's classic - but Hobbit.. (can't remember homepage -but Google is
friend)

It started life as a set of scripted addons to Big Brother - then kinda
outgrew itself and became it's own product.

Traffic light system - so it's nice an obvious for the operations team
to monitor.

I use at work for about 260 systems - a mix of linux, Solaris and VMS..

good/recommended tools to display real-time or near real time system
information VIA web (AJAX or JAVA based) for a server? I would like to
set up something where I can monitor server status at a glance without

know Gnome and KDE have system monitoring applications, but since I
dont' have X installed on the servers I desire to monitor like this, I
figure web based would be next best.

Matter of fact, Cacti was the reason why I moved to a new platform, only
to find I have build issues with Spine on x86_64, and no RPM's are
available on this (my build issues are lib related) and Cacti works
perfectly for my long term graphing. Though upgrading 400 rra's from
x86_32 to x86_64 was a task.

Have a look at nagios.


We use a combination of Cacti, Nagios, Splunk and OpenNMS. Works great.

Seann,

You've gotten some pretty good responses, so far, but I wanted to throw
something else out at you.

If you have an X manager on the workstation from which you want to monitor
the servers, you can still run the x based tools, remotely.

If your workstation is a Linux system, you're probably already running X.
If it's a Windows system, I recommend xming...it's lightweight, and I've
run many an X app, remotely, using it.

If you want something seriously heavy-duty, look at
http://www.opennms.org. It's java based and their yum repo includes the
Sun JVM to run it.
