At LinuxWorld:

BoF: Network, Device, and Environment Monitoring

Wednesday, 08/16/2006, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Free with LinuxWorld exhibits pass

Informal "meet and greet" reception at GroundWork's offices after the BoF

Speakers:

Ian Berry, Project Lead, Cacti

Kees Cook, Project Lead, Sendpage

Matt Massie, Project Lead, Ganglia

Tobi Oetiker, Project Lead, RRDtool, MRTG, Smokeping

Remo Rickli, Project Lead, NeDi

It'll be a follow-on to a conference session earlier in the day (BP4); unfortunately people will need a full conference pass to attend that ($$$).� Here's that URL:

A roundtable on open source tools for network and server monitoring and management, we'll briefly discuss the the state of the IT management tools industry -- both commercial and Open Source. The�project leads for ganglia, Cacti, rrdtool, MRTG, NeDi, and Smokeping will present briefly on their tools and answer questions.

Finally, we'll describe an approach that integrates multiple open source tools to create a comprehensive Network Monitoring solution.

I haven't found out from LinuxWorld yet if there's a hard stop at 7PM; either way: everyone's invited back to GroundWork's offices at 139 Townsend St. (one block from AT&T Park) afterwards to mingle and continue the discussion.

Thanks, and feel free to contact me anytime with questions.

Cheers, -Peter
