Thank God this is CLUE-talk, so I get to mention that every time I, or anyone, uses the word boxes, I remember this little routine:

BigBrother is a pay for product IIRC but there is xymon. It used to be called hobbit until the owner of the hobbit name came after the software writer. hobbit works just like big brother and can interact with big brother scripts. There is also a plugin called devmon that will allow you to get stats from a box via snmp. We use hobbit for our production monitoring of a few hundred boxen. Check it out if you like.

Someone said something about a Nagios type of product that doesn't suck. This below (Big Brother) is what I was thinking about, as an alternative to Nagios. Every time I edit those Nagios files, I wish I had time to explore Big Brother... :-)
