Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Zabbix FTW
Zabbix definitely. Liked it so much that I started a service doing hosted zabbix now: http://tribily.com
Started that mainly because I got sick and tired of setting up zabbix over and over again with new clients and new projects every time :)
I use Nagios...
... witch Centreon of course!
My favorite is nagios based
My favorite is nagios based opsview.
zabbix
zabbix ftw.
i love zabbix
with zabbix you can monitor everything
I use zabbix and Orabbix to monitor Oracle
more info here: http://www.smartmarmot.com
I choose zabbix
But frankly I think nagios is more powerful and easy to maintain(with the help of Makefile), zabbix is powerful but it still a little messing. So, I'm tryting to build an enhanced zabbix release, details is available here - http://www.admon.org/
Linux monitoring tool
I think that ZAbbix is now the most compresive tool
Zabbix is The Best - Zabbix has it all !
Zabbix is easy to use, implement, and customize. Operation is intuitive! Almost all functionality is included for both server and network monitoring. If something is missing for your environment, you can easily add new function or customize.
Zabbix will be a next generation OSS monitoring tool.
Zabbix has it all!
zabbix
Agree with you!
Zabbix is the Best
For us here Zabbix is the most professional application for network monitoring. Works great!!!

Zabbix - works out of the "box"
Nagios is great, very solid but the architecture is aging.
Zabbix is the next generation. It has all the basics, monitoring, graphing, alerts, right out of the box. All configured from a decent, though a little obscure, web interface and stored in the sql database of your choice.
If you haven't looked at Zabbix 1.8, you should.
Zabbix is our monitoring systems for next 10 years
Big Brother -> Hobbit -> Xymon was our monitoring system of choice for almost 15 years, but it wasn't developing/updating as fast as we wanted.
Evaluated hyperic, nagios, etc -- lots of great benefits but just couldn't get them to be as easily extendable, manageable, reliable, and usable as we needed.
Transitioned to Zabbix a year ago and are confident that it will serve us well as our base of monitoring infrastructure for the next 10-15 years. Thank you Zabbix devs.
Used to get Nagios but

Open source is a very good

Nagios with check_mk (from Mathias Kettner)
If you haven't explored this, you should.
How about ./mon
https://mon.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
easy customizable with perl, small footprint
Oculus
Because of the complexity of Nagios, I started my own monitoring system: Oculus (http://blog.friesoft.nl/software/oculus/). In version 0.12 now, should be production ready somewhere this year.
Until then, I actually don't monitor. As long as everything is working, there is no problem ;-).
I'm surprised that
I'm surprised that Xymon/Hobbit isn't in the list of choices, it's definitely my first choice.
Ham Radio
Some time ago you published an article regarding "Ham Radio". I would like to get a copy of it. Do you have a fie about it or a hard copy of it.

Favorite monitoring app
i used to use cacti + groundwork/nagios,the best combination :D
favourite monitoring tool
I tried Nagios and found it very complicated.
To have graphics you have to add centreon.
I dont understand why Nagios is so popular.
Now i'm using Xymon/Devmon/BBwin, it's much easier to manage.
Zabbix - solid monitoring tool
Our company started using zabbix for last 1 year and its doing pretty awesome job..Moreover we are installing new Mikoomi monitoring appliance ,its virtual appliance based on Zabbix.
Favorite monitoring tool
We use Zabbix. It is flexible and suitable for medium and large environments. It is not very easy but if you want to build a custom build network monitoring system it must be flexible and scalable. Zabbix is.
Newest version of Zabbix
The recently released Zabbix version 1.8.2 is simply awesome.
LogicMonitor Saves You Time
Nagios is great when you have time to set it up and maintain it. If you don't, take a look at an automated monitoring tool called LogicMonitor. Monitors everything for you by default - no configuration required. Not free, but neither is your time. Check out http://www.logicmonitor.com for more information and a free trial.
Zabbix + Munin
For most part we use Zabbix and Munin
and we still have MRTG.
OpenNMS is the BOMB
You can't beat it for ease of configuration. I've tried them all and OpenNMS makes my life very simple. Very flexible configuration system.
N is for Nagios, that's good enough for me
We started using Nagios several years ago and I have learned how to write custom
scripts to detect SAMBA login failures and shell login failures. It is great. The security
model is simple and near impossible to hack.
See my notes

Interested in Hyperic
We were interested in Hyperic, but it's high pricing profile can't make us afford it..:(
Pandora Flexible Monitoring system
I chose to use this to monitor live servers and office systems back in 2005, I really liked the simple install, easy to write addon agents and remote collectors, the usefull graphics helped immensely to diagnose performance of jav virtual machines, memory, cpu and request rates.
We even had it send alerts via sms to operations when certain limits, events were triggered.
Can't understand why it never gets featured.

Combination of Cacti+SmokePing+Munin+Monit+nTOP+OSSIM
Used for different things on networks e.g. Cacti for raw Bandwidth usage, Smokeping for WAN connectivity and alerting, Munin for host info and Monit for alerting host info, nTOP for local LAN data and OSSIM for IDS in a DMZ network.
OSSIM
I love OSSIM from Alienvault! Quite similar to Groundworks, but includes more applications.
Munin + Monit + netstat.php
I was looking for something simple. After some research I've chosen Munin which in fact is a graphing tool but already does some nice monitoring, too.
Monit I use where protocols and finer grading of alerts is needed.
netstat.php I wrote myself to have a simple "interface" (with red and green lights:) for my users + clients (something which I found even many of bigger solutions are lacking).
Nagios + Cacti
Nagios + Cacti
Mon
Mon has monitored my network for 13 years now, I think.
More a 'framework for scheduling monitoring activities and alerts'. A few lines of a script (usually perl) to return a 'this is working/failed' status, a script to generate alerts (via whatever mechanism you have... email, sms gateway, for a long while I had it dialing a numeric pager via modem), etc.
Simple and reliable, it's one of those packages that Just Works.
Zabbix
I use Zabbix
Zabbix FTW! 1.8.x branch is
Zabbix FTW! 1.8.x branch is showing big improvements in stability, features, and php frontend
Zabbix missing?
Wondering why Zabbix is not listed as an option.
Favorite monitoring app: Hobbit
Simple and extendable.
I have used Big Brother, and
I have used Big Brother, and now use hobbit to monitor over 4000 devices across 430 distinct sites. Works great and the customization ability and extensibility is amazing. Anything you can check with a simple script can be monitored and graphed.
Zabbix, OpenNMS
Switched from Openview long, long ago. Switched from BB long ago. Switched from Nagios+Cacti a couple of years ago. Am quite satisfied with Zabbix now, though it's alerting subsystem is not up to Nagios it is otherwise much simpler and more powerfull. We write python + zabbix_get scripts to do alerting. Main drawback, other than alerts, is that it's written in PHP.
Second place has to go to OpenNMS which has most of the features of the others but none of the upgrade / security / integration hassles (thanks primarily to Java).
OpenNMS of course.
OpenNMS of course.
