Monitoring Server Health

[Derek Ragona]

I use bigsister, which is in the ports.  Bigsister trys to use snmp and to 
be non-invasive.  However, any monitoring comes with some overhead.

On the good side bigsister is cross-platform and can be used on Windows 
servers as well as FreeBSD (and other 'NIXs too.)    Bigsister can be 
configured on a server by server basis for what you want to monitor, to 
limit any overheard you can.  You can also configure bigsister to store the 
data in a database such as mysql for more detailed analysis.

Hope this helps,

         -Derek
