Choosing a monitoring system

Question

System administration

Good day %username

There was a task - it is necessary to organize monitoring of all servers \computers in the office, about 150 machines and a dozen printers in total.
I so understand it is necessary to use SNMP?

In general, you need to monitor the SMART of all HDDs, as well as other general information, such as CPU\memory\HDD\network, etc.

There are servers for both Linux and Windows.

What is better to use for these purposes?
I tried to install Nagios according to the manual from Habr, but something good didn’t work out, and I couldn’t set it up properly.
I would like something not very complicated to use.

Can you recommend something?

Answer 1

they asked themselves, they answered
themselves %D0%BD%D0%B3
ps: try zabbix

Answer 2

zabbix.org
Convenient, comfortable, practical

Answer 3

If you have money, then you can use growndwork, it is the same nagions of current with support and a bunch of goodies, monitors smarts, temperatures, loads, raids and much more, for all systems, flexible settings for sending alerts.

Answer 4

Zabbix collects information from agents pre-installed on machines, from switches, printers, etc via SNMP, and you can simply ping the device.
To collect SMART, you need to set it up a little, but there is a HOWTO on the internet.

Answer 5

We have PRTG for 100 sensors (monitors servers and services) and zabbix for secondary devices (printers, sensors, etc.). But in fact, buying prtg (about 400 euros for 100 sensors) for user PCs is not at all profitable IMHO
prtg - very convenient wmi request templates (authorization, service availability, free space, cpu, ram, etc.).
