The company I work for (just started) has some time back purchased TEC,
but this product is not running (I asked questions about this several
days ago). Now that I have established that TEC is not running I am to
have a meeting to discuss what direction as a company we will take for
monitoring. I have heard Tivoli described as a Cadillac of monitoring
systems. What I have read so far seems nice, but also that a lot of
cycles are consumed at the managed nodes (servers I'm watching) for
the monitoring.

I'm seeking opinions both on Tivoli and on going with something like
Big Brother or Nagios. Currently I have about 20 AIX servers, maybe 60
windows server I will interface with, lots of networked printers, and
many routers and such. I want something that is easy, consumes little,
is easily extendible as I monitor more applications and services on my
servers, and something that can run easily through a cable/dsl connection
so I can monitor my servers from home. For home (and work really) use
I prefer to have a tty/curses interface. I don't need all the gui stuff.

Thoughts?

Mike
