I’d love to have one centralized interface for all locations. Ideally this is something that I can run from an apache instance that is located in my main data center (and separate from the monitoring host in that DC). I’ve been checking out check_mk Multisite and utilizing the livestatus plugin. There’s a lot to like in it… interface layout, the ability to submit commands to any location from one interface, and the nagvis integration. There are also some things that are missing that may be deal breakers for me. Native LDAP (not using mod_ldap in apache), cacti integration on some level, and more granular user groups would be some.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regardless of the fact that we like check_mk Multisite, I’d like to see what other options are out there.
