Sorry for the off-topic but I think this might be interesing for all the
sysadmins in here.

Pandora FMS is a monitoring software. It watches your systems and
applications, and allows you to know the status of any element of those
systems (hardware, software, sensors, network equipment, etc).

Pandora FMS can monitor Windows remotely (through WMI), any device via TCP
and/or ICMP checks, and any SNMP device through polling and trap reception.
Also allows to reuse user-defined "plugins" that make remote checks, like
execute remote commands, connecting devices by telnet to gather data, etc.

Pandora FMS can perform periodical network reconnissances to discover new
hosts and devices on the network and can create a visual network map, with
its network topology and OS type. Pandora FMS also has an WYSIWYG AJAX
Visual Console editor for interactive map creation;

It has also advanced features like data replication across multiple Pandora
FMS setups, pattern-anomaly detection, a prediction engine, a  event
notificacion manager and a correlation alert system.

Besides agentless monitoring it has software agents that can be installed in
most OS on the market, these agents can be remotely configured from the
Console, and are able to process logs from Windows and Unix systems.

Reporting features include user defined reports: SLA checks, real time
graphs, and much more possibilities thanks to its SQL automanaged backend.

Development of stable version 2.0 of Pandora FMS is over. After a long
period of testing, Pandora FMS team has finished development for this
version that introduces great features from previous version.

Some changes from last version are.

* WMI Remote Monitoring Server (Windows)
* Plugin Server to reuse user-programmed network checks.
* Prediction Server to detect anomalies in patterns.
* Export Server to replicate data across multiple Pandora FMS setups.
* Network Map with OS autodetection and topology discovery.
* New Visual Console in AJAX for interactive map creation.
* Agent remote configuration from the Console.
* Advanced alert correlation.
