[lug] RE: [CLUE-Tech] A Linux version of system and network monitoring?

[Crawford Rainwater]

The votes have come in (from a few other lists and from
some of my ITEC folks), Netsaint seems to do what I am
looking for at this point via word of mouth.  I have some
reading up to do.

To elaborate on Tivoli some (at least the usage I had with
it a few years back), basically you can assign icons
network IDs, and there is a continuous connectivity check
for services.  If there is a break in the network or a bottleneck,
icon can change status (normally via colors: green (good), yellow
(oops, something is up), red (bad), brown (inactive net ID)) and
use to trace down the "problem".

Thanks for the responses in advance.
