Hello peeps,

I'm after some *cost effective*;) server monitoring software that can monitor multiple servers uptime,cpu etc etc

The biggest consideration for me is it needs to monitor servers at various locations and not depends on being connected to my network at the office.

Any ideas?

Actually thats pretty cheap, Solarwinds monitoring is expensive! But damn good i may add
 
Thanks for the suggestions I have to agree, its a little out of my budget at present.

Nagios how easy is it to use?:p
 
Nagios was not that difficult to setup. Read the documentation that comes along with it and just be patient. It's great, there was however a fork recently so be mindful, but i don't think there will be many problems.

You could also try Zenoss Core. The Core version is free.

Zenoss User here too. At home for testing and in a production environment. The initial setup of the alerting took some tweaking, but works well for what we need it to do

Edit:
The hardest part about the setup was going through each server, machine, network equipment that I needed to report back to zenoss and point it to zenoss.

I actually use Ubersmith DE. It's unbelievable how much these pieces of software can cost.

Currently using Solarwinds on the network, Netcool for SNMP trapping, Zabbix on all the NT and *NIX boxes, and we are poking around on a couple of other options to see if they can do anything the above do better.
