Charlie Schluting has a nice article at Enterprise Networking Planet, “Open Source Zenoss Muscles Into Net Monitoring”

“If hardcore sysadmins are excited, you know this is something worthwhile.

Zenosss is very functional and full of features. It may even be possible to replace three separate pieces of software with this one product: host inventory database, Nagios, and your performance monitoring tool of choice. Maybe even Splunk some day. We can’t wait to see what features they will be adding next.”

Thanks for the write-up Charlie! One bit of clarification, while Zenoss looks at logs for events. Splunk! is a great tool for detailed searching of the syslogs. Perhaps someday we will be partners rather than an alternative too.
