| I have to laugh at you pointing out 'redis', redis can not scale at this time. Clusters are planned sometime mid-year but it'll be sometime before it has more features. Maybe you meant the MongoDB? Alerting is quite flexible from what I read to the point that they are quite customiseable. I agree that a server dying at 3 am is not as important but should still be a valid alert to make an API call to the host to start a new server (Not sure if possible, alerts seem to be shell based). Here's what your offering needs top in what I'm considering lately: http://www.zabbix.com/features.php I'd love more competition but even you point out community involvement won't be as much because there's a lot of competition. Including your offering, soon. Disclaimer: I started researching server monitoring a few weeks ago and considering Zabbix since last week. Edit: The one issue I find is that there's lack of web transactions like New Relic has: http://newrelic.com/features/performance-analytics You can see it in action with average response time: http://blog.tstmedia.com/news_article/show/86942 As far as I know, no open network monitoring service offers it. |
