[ale] Monitoring Solutions

[Chuck Payne]

Nagios ( free, work to setup but it works ), Nagios XI ( Paid, does
scaning, has all the plugins, and easy to use ), Zabbix ( Have to have SNMP
setup ), Zennos, Check_MK ( I love this one, python base checks, graphs,
and auto-creates checks. ), BigPanda and Greylogs ( Syslog that alerts,
works great).

Of you want to really punish yourself, ELK Stack. It's good but it takes a
bit work to it up. I have seen a company use Zabbix with four servers, one
for ELK agents to sent in logs, the two other as catch points, with the
four as the main server.
