You can use HP System Insight Manager to monitor your servers. For more information, go to http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html . You can use this utility to monitor non-HP Servers as well, but not as details as you monitoring HP servers.

regards,
Ryan

I'd suggest NAGIOS.
http://www.nagios.org/
It's free, it has many agents that can check much more than you need.
It takes sometime to learn and deploy it, but except that- Nagios is great.

And if you want to monitor/graph system load, Ganglia is the answer.

Hi

You can have a look at the SAR utility, you can customise it to have output every nth minute and can also redirect the output.

Take a look at hobbitmon.sourceforge.net.

This project creates an effective system monitoring tool that is simple to get up and running.

It is not as extensive as HP-SIM or Naggios, but it is great for a smaller environment.

Hi,

Try 'cacti' http://cacti.net. Cacti is a complete system monitoring/network graphing solution. It uses SNMP and displays monitored system resources graphically.

Hello,

You can choose between different solutions.

MRTG,JFFNMS,OPENNMS,NGIOS,...

Sorry for offtopic.
Question to Tom Robinson - do you use Cacti on MS Windows?

[Tom Robinson_1]

Do you mean to monitor or to run on Windows? I have installed it on a linux server to monitor devices on the network (servers, switches, client hosts, etc). That network can include Windows hosts if they are configured with SNMP. Cacti is avaiable for windows, too.

recommend netsaint/Nagios

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

I'd like to monitor MS Win machines (collect some statistics about CPU/memory usage for specific processes).

look at windows performance advisor v2.0. Great free tool that uses perfmon and SQL to capture info and then builds a XML report that uses that data and then will trend it for you. and it is FREE....

also, MOM 2005 is a good tool to look at for more info.
