View Poll Results: Monitoring Application of the Year
I like nagios, mrtg, cacti, iptraf, darkstat. Id say the best(my fav) for overall server monitoring would be nagios. Its customizable, covers a lot of ground, can generate email/text alerts.
I like the graphs that cacti and mrtg provide.
I like the real time data that iptraf and darkstat provide
Distribution: Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu

Rep:
Gkrellm does not qualify. The issue was discussed last year in depth. Gkrellm is just too far outside the intended scope of "Monitoring" for this poll.

I must have missed that discussion. Before commenting further, can you clarify the 'intended scope'?
I agree with sycamorex , it has showed me a few other options.
One quick question. Are all of these tools free ? A fast check leads me to guess, if not the whole applicaiton atleast a part of it is free ?
I use Hobbit, recently renamed to xymon because "hobbit" is registered to by some hobbit'ses out there..
Very simple to create custom monitoring tasks, quick and easy to setup.
