@dustinb3403 How severe is the data isolation requirement? From a view / workflow / alerting standpoint things can be broken out by client / site etc with maps and / or dashboards but yeah, most of the centralized logger / ticketing / MSP / rmm-y type solutions will use a common database behind the scenes. From a data isolation standpoint, if you've got multiple clients and sites pushing to a common email address there's the same potential for data intermingling in that common repository as a shared database.... Just some food for thought.

It's a semi-quazy requirement that the data at least be separated into their own "customer". While overlap is expected, I can't have system Y from one customer populate details or mix with Customer B.

Dealing with "Internet" issues. Anyone else seeing some general "slowdown?"

Started about 45 minutes ago.

Yeah, my cat chewed my internet cable over the weekend.

So you no longer have a cat, right?

Checking out for the Day.

I've had enough..

So whatever the solution would be would have to be centrally managed and support different customers. Zabbix I know can support different hardware. Which that isn't the issue so much as is how would be ensure client data isn't intermingling.

Also to not forget it should only be for reporting on hardware health, bad drive, array issues, firmware statuses etc. While a tool that would allow me to manage (update stuff etc) would be amazing, it likely adds way more complexity than is required.

The end result is a tool that will report on different hardware health statuses, to a central location and then kick off an email so I could work on whatever the hardware issue is.

Oki doki. I spoke with multiple external Spectrum Business and home customers and they have been sporadic also.

Could be local to your region. I'm not sure where you're situated at.

Stopping what I was working on for one customer, to work on something else for an internal customer.

Yay who's my Boss on this Ugly Tuesday!

Also not worthy of its own IT Discussion

@jaredbusch you're building this for cats?

I get why (outside time without them running wild), just was curious.

What the heck is DragonCon? There better not be any Wyverns here....

It’s a costuming convention.

Like a Furry Party? Or LARPing?

One day I’ll find time for LARP.

So you have time for Furry role playing?

@gjacobse So definitely a Furry party. ;-D

While this is a very legacy approach it still works. If everyone is on premise (or VPN) based this should work fine.

what RMM so we all know to stay away from that product.

The largest one in the US. Other than that I can't really offer more details.

@notverypunny yeah I thought about that, but for my specific need it may not work.

Too bad. Technical reasons or "political" reasons if you don't mind my asking?
