Server monitoring

[ChrisD.]

Hi all, looking for a small application that can do the following:

• Monitor disk sizes
• Do reg queries
• Check services
• Check cisco router/switc configs/logs
• Trawl Solaris and report back logs

Some other bits as well.

Currently use a host of perl scripts which output to a basic webpage, but it's not very pretty. I would like to use a small, lightweight application to do some if not all of the above. Something that is free and licences for use is preferable. Any recommendations?

Just so happens that is what I was looking at, will test it out in my testing environment and see how I get on. Cheers.

Do they work via snmp?

Problem is that I would really want something to sit on a local machine/server and then probe boxes, without using agents, so snmp would be preferential, or something that can go into registry remotely and look for what I define.
