[nycbug-talk] Statistical Monitoring

[Matt Juszczak]

Hi all,

What do all of you use for monitoring now-n-days?  In the past I've used a 
combination of Nagios and Cacti, but I've setup Nagios on a new setup, and 
while investigating Cacti (via SNMP) I also began investigating Ganglia.

What do all of you prefer - push methods or pull methods for statistics 
gathering and graphing?  It seems using Cacti with SNMP would work nicely, 
but also using Ganglia to push the data to a centralized gmond (which 
I've also done in the past) works well, too.

Thoughts?
