This is the 3′rd time I am implementing the free version of Zenoss on different companies, and I can’t get enough of it.

Zenoss is an snmp monitoring tool. it has a very cool modern interface, Its very simple and easy to use, low maintenance, and efficient.

Adding a new device to monitor is a matter of seconds. Nagios plugins can be used, and of course writing your own.

I really liked the alerts managing , which makes it very easy to filter out devices, get exactly the alerts you want, and by default there are hardly ever false alarms (I had 2 false alarms which needed to be tuned from 100 devices on 3 different places)

If you still don’t use Zenoss, or you use Nagios, you might wanna check this great tool, i guarantee you will come back here to praise it.
