Thanks. Amazing info. I am already using monit. I have considered using Mmonit as well. But there are a few commercial programs out there that are really fancy and really depict a sort of a monitoring center where it fits very nicely across multiple monitors with lots of graphs and bars....(something like you see in movies, radars, etc... :-) okay not that much). It just becomes easier for less-techy people to know if something is not right as it should be.<div>
<br></div><div>But I guess the best solution would one that doesn't require any extra libraries and programs to be installed on each node which really complicates things.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again<br>

Hi Guys,<div><br></div><div>I am wondering if there are specific monitoring tools that you use and prefer to monitor VM statuses. Something cool like this:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.humbuglabs.org/" target="_blank">http://www.humbuglabs.org/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I am mainly intrested to monitor CentOS OSs but there could be the occasional Ubuntu based as well.</div><div><br></div><div>I would prefer this monitoring tool to be an OpenVZ template as well so it's already setup but if not I can try to install. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Please list you favorites.</div><div><br></div><div>***P.S. I am looking to install a few monitors to give me 24/7 Operation Center feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div>
