[nycbug-talk] zenoss monitoring soft

[Marc Spitzer]

I am looking at this for work, http://moodss.sourceforge.net/, it
speaks the nagios probe protocol so you can use all nagios host
monitoring scripts.  It has been around for about 8-10 years.

"We trained very hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to
form into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that
we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it
can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion,
inefficiency and demoralization."
