Bye!

[Williams, P. Lane]

I once used big brother.  Nice product for a small shop with few technical
admins.  We switched to Nagios because Big Brother couldn't handle the load.
We would have had to implement 3 different servers, handling the various
task.  Plus when I look at the possible development aspects of Nagios, I can
see a tool comparable to Tivoli if not one step better.  

I believe your management will have new found respect for Nagios when BB
begins to drop emails or sends false alerts because it is backed-up.  Good
luck on your down-grade, you'll need a very nice server to handle all of
those synchronized shell scripts.

I still have a bitter taste in my mouth from managing that product.  It was
so bad that most admins just stopped paying attention to the alerts and
constantly complained to me.  Now that we use Nagios I get constant kudo's
and the world is nearly perfect...:-).

Commiserations my friend.

For those of us who may come up against the army of Big Brother (good grief 
that's orwellian) in the future what were the key points as to why the race 
was lost?

i.e what parts of the nagger are weak?

Cheers
