Hi,
I have a handful of Linux servers that I want to monitor the RAM, CPU, Network and disk usage of. A few are on my LAN, but some would need to be monitored via the web (either through VPN, or via opened ports).

Can anyone recommend something open source, perhaps with graphs etc, that shows usage over hours/days/weeks etc?

Cheers,
Matt
 
Thanks - just downloading a Debian image with in on now to run off our VMWare Server. The Canonical Landscape looks good, but none-free by the looks of it.

Sorry you lost me there with the Canonical Landscape thingy?! Whats that?

I've just cacti running to graph basic info on my servers :D
 
Sorry, Landscape is this: https://landscape.canonical.com

Similar to Cacti I think, but allows you to install software updates etc. I've got the Cacti server installed and running, but it's struggling to pickup SNMP data from one of Ubuntu servers. Do you know of any good tutorials that I could read through? I found one that told me to change the snmpd.conf file to allow readonly access from the Cacti server, but Cacti just shows the server as being offline (which it isn't!!).

Maybe this?

Its got a section at the bottom that checks if your snmp on ubuntu is local only? It might be something like that? Hard to say without knowing more... and I'm mainly using cacti on windows servers and switches :D
 
Thanks - that's got me going. I had to tell my snmpd.conf file to send the data out on a specific network card (ie. eth0), or it wouldn't be received over the network.

Just need to work out how to get Cacti to show the disk space for other hard drives in that system, and job's a good 'un!
