Jopr is an enterprise management solution for JBoss middleware projects and other application technologies. This pluggable project provides administration, monitoring, alerting, operational control and configuration in an enterprise setting with fine-grained security and an advanced extension model. This system is based on and plugin-compatible with the multi-vendor RHQ management project. It provides support for monitoring base operating system information on six operating systems as well as mangement of Apache, JBoss Application Server and other related projects.
BigDaddy is an application built to monitor servers and applications in a business environment. It was created at BioWare Corp. between 2002 and 2007 to monitor various servers and applications and has been now released to the Open Source Community in the hopes that it will be useful. Download a VMWare appliance to immediately test out the application.
Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet (Moodss) is a graphical monitoring application with a complete graphical user interface (GUI) to conveniently monitor network services and send alerts when thresholds are crossed. Moodss is a deceptively simple tool that could characterized as a dynamic network-aware spreadsheet. It can poll devices using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), receive and send SNMP traps, and perform network service checks via Nagios plug-ins. It can optionally be used with the Modular Object-Oriented Multi-Purpose Service (Moomps) monitoring daemon to delegate monitoring tasks to a separate lightweight application after all thresholds have been defined with Moodss. The best way to see how Moodss operates is to walk through some examples so that’s what I’ll do in the steps below. I wish to give special thanks to Jean-Luc for his valuable assistance with Moodss on OS X, and for writing such a fine program.

Logdog is a tool that monitors messages passing through syslogd and takes action based on key words and phrases. Logdog has a configuration file which allows you to specify a list of key words or phrases to alert on, and a list of commands that can be run when those words are encountered. Logdog is licensed under the GPL.
Any system administrator worth their salt has some kind of system for collecting and maintaining information about all the systems they're responsible for. Gathering that info by hand, especially when the systems are inherited, can be time-consuming. Or you could try out boxinfo, a Perl script that gathers most or all of the information you'd want in a few easy steps. Boxinfo is simple to run, just run it on any Linux system that has Perl and it will look for information about the disk space, processor, memory, network interfaces, mounted disks, versions of utilities, and general system environment. Once finished, it prints out an HTML page or page in Wikimedia format, and a debug file that shows all commands run and the output. This can be useful to identify Perl modules you might be missing to gather information.
Computer monitoring systems are used to gather data for the purpose of real-time incident notification, performance analysis, and system health verification. Without such a tool, a system administrator would have to login to each machine to collect information on a regular basis. This kind of repetitive task can be automated using a system monitoring tool. System monitoring can also help identify problems before they escalate to emergency status. This type of software is not only useful for network administrators. Home users with a small network or even just a single computer will benefit from advanced notification provided by system monitoring tools. Knowing that free space on the hard disk is running out, or that a particular server/daemon has gone down can be extremely useful.
