Aggregated Remote performance monitors

[alyarb]

I'd like to implement some kind of real-time performance monitoring for our servers (CPU, RAM, disk, network) that can be displayed from a large TV in the office.

It can be a program that pushes statistics to a website that is displayed on the TV, or aggregated by some client app that is displayed by the TV. Any suggestions?


thanks guys

I used to use Nagios at my old job. I really like that software; there were charts, graphs, calculations, and all sorts of useful features. We would put the network-node style map up on the big screen so that we could see when one of our clients went down even before they knew.

Thanks for the suggestion, they definitely have robust network service monitoring. I am looking more for local resource monitoring, so I guess I should've been more specific. Basically we have about 15 backup servers, each with a large RAID 60 (striped 24-disk RAID 6 arrays).

I'm looking for something that kind of presents like the Win7/2008 resource monitor. I like how it totals and averages the disk and network metrics since those are the primary figures I need to display. Basically if real-time disk and network throughput monitors for 15 servers can be viewed from a single display, I'd be happy. CPU and RAM hardly get used but that would be nice data to throw in.
