I am trying to set up some monitoring for our productions systems. I have heard that some of you out there are using Nagios to monitor certain aspects of Centricity. I would like to hear about how you managed this and what kind of metrics are returned?
I have tried Nagios in the past but was unable to get very far with setting it up and getting any meaningful metrics out of it. However I have recently deployed Microsoft System Center: Operations Manager, and I am already getting much more meaningful; metrics from this. However I am having some trouble getting it to recognize JBoss and monitor its performance for me.
So does any one have any experience either using Nagios or SCOM to monitor their production environments?
thanks,
Josh

There are several Jboss plug-ins available but this is the one I used:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss2nagios/ (The screenshot should be helpful to see if that is what you are looking for)
I run Nagios but I am not currently using the Jboss plug-ins. The I did for a while but ran my server out of space and ended up decreasing my monitoring to keep the DB smaller. I find that the more useful information I need comes from the NRPE plug-ins which tell me about disk space, CPU load, etc, on the Windows server itself. I had a Jboss error once which may/may not have been easier to address with the Nagios Jboss plug-in but I just had to open a case with GE anyway. I don't get too deep into troubleshooting Jboss but I would if I were having performance problems or something like that which I am not.
I am evaluating Nagios log server now too. That will help me more than anything else. It is really a great tool but it makes me want to monitor everything but it is not free if you gather more than 500 MB of logs per day.
