damn man...i fell your pain, we have had some issues at work too, was here for about 40 hours the last time with a couple 20min power naps. i hate that shit!!!
got it all installed Saturday! only issue was it being a pain in the ass to get to the hex bolt that held the clamp on the rear header. I have a nice set of T-handled hex wrenches and they weren't long enough!! so I ended going to buy a set of hex sockets, but at least i have those now too... ...and damn the bike sounds fucking wicked!!! went on a cruise around town to 'break' it in a bit pics can be seen here: http://www.ohio-riders.net/album.php?albumid=163
daaaamn!! yeah i think i will stick with nagios..... we monitor about 100 different hosts including servers, routers, etc...and about 300 services (disks, pings, memory, etc) it works great for what we need.
i will def get some pics when done, got it from indysuperbikes.com ....much cheaper than everywhere i looked and it took 1 day to ship!! yeah i was going to get a PCIII once i had the extra $$$ to get it...
well i can't disagree, ive never used nimbus...im all about the free open source stuff that you can write your own plugins etc for. are you able to that with nimbus? i have might have to give it a try
dude you should use nagios (http://www.nagios.org/) to monitor all of that. You can setup different services to check a million different things, then page/email you if something were to go down. ...but you would need to either install on that server or get a separate one to run it, it also has a few third party web interfaces that are great for configuring it if you dont want to keep editing files. ...its a great app!
