Monitoring -- Discussions on the development of an enterprise-level, scalable monitoring solution
About Monitoring	English (USA)
Devdas Bhagat's talk in the LCA 2013 Sysadmin Miniconf inspired me to continue the conversation by running a Monitoring BOF. I then decided to create this list to carry the discussion forward and work on the issues. Some of the problems identified in the talk include: * existing FOSS solutions (e.g. Nagios) usually don't scale well * multiple teams need to deal effectively with various sub-parts of the infrastructure * polling sucks https://lca2013.linux.org.au/wiki/Monitoring_BOF -- Alastair Irvine To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Monitoring Archives.
