Zenoss + gnokii – TheSkorm

Zenoss is a wonderful piece of software (once installed) that allows you to monitor devices and programs. It’s really nice at keeping a history of events and the like.

It grabs data via snmp (or a few other methods) and monitors them, creating graphs and status reports. It’ll even map out your network for you. It’s fairly basic software, but it does wonderful things.

So I’ve wanted to do this for awhile, but now I’ve got all the bits together. A friend has given me a Nokia phone with a broken screen, and another a sim card. I was able to “borrow” dads bluetooth dongle that he never uses, and hook up gnokii up to my zenoss.

Now whenever a device dies, I can get a sms alert about it. Pretty nice stuff :>.
