Feel free to delete now if you've heard enough of my crap.<br><br>This is a reminder to all of us, me included. It is easy to become a leech and never notice a problem until your favorite project goes dormant because the folks working on it had to "get real jobs".<br><br>If free software gives you value, give something back. Words are good, and gifts are great. "Free" is a lot easier to do if the gifts come back, because folks that have something to give back, do. So, please give something to Wikipedia, the Free Software Foundation, the Linux Foundation, the Samba project, or whatever is of value to you. *Show* your gratitude with words and gifts you can afford.<br><br>And, encourage your friends and employers to do likewise.<br><br><div><span name="x"></span>--<br>David L.

However, what I ended up doing for the systems I ran was use tripwire to log changes and use that as my "cmdb". When required, I copy-pasta'd entries from the tripwire log into the wiki.<div><br></div><div>In the end, everyone was happy, and I didn't have to deal with tracking stuff manually.

More a question of looking for a way to find a searchable list of system changes that you can say refine, so when something breaks. You can, for example, bring up a list of system changes that occurred within, oh say, the last week. I gather most of the CMDBs are pay-per software. Idoit, and onecmdb for example, are FOSS, but so far, problematic at best. Some of the options I've looked at run in windows, few to none run on linux. At least not well. Looking at itop, not convinced on that one either. Looks like I'd have to get a webserver going to have that running, but I don't see many ways around that. Everything I look at either runs on apache on tomcat. Most have some sort of mysql backend.<div><br></div><div>Mike B</div></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 11:13 AM, Matt James <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:matuse@gmail.com" target="_blank">matuse@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I've used the Asset Tracker part of RT before and was reasonably happy with it. <a href="https://www.bestpractical.com/assets/" target="_blank">https://www.bestpractical.com/assets/</a><div><br></div><div>Is that what you're looking for?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><span>On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 10:31 AM, Mike Bean <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:beandaemon@gmail.com" target="_blank">beandaemon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span><div dir="ltr">Has anyone had good experience with cmdb's they're comfortable recommending?
