I'm not familiar with Manage Engine Data Security Plus, so no idea how it compares to that.

Manage Engine Data Security Plus = File server auditing - monitor, alert, and report on all file accesses and modifications made to your file server environment.

I really need this kind, to monitor our Windows File server shares, once in a while, people come to ask me who deleted or modified these etc.

@IRJ Is Wazuh can do something like this? once I install an Agent on Windows File Server?

In a deployment that we did, we ran into some serious limitations with Wazuh where it couldn't be used for multiple sites. Not a limitation that I investigated, but @irj did and couldn't find a workaround.

Other apps like it, like Graylog and Zabbix, we were able to work around those limitations and can use them for multiple sites / companies.

My scenario is for a single site, so no issues on this for me.

@IRJ Appreciate your inputs!

Hi,

I was willing to set up Graylog 2 for longer, it was not so easy for me to get it to work. I always try to spin new open-source tools in free time, even if I don't use them in production.

Recently I came across Wazuh software https://wazuh.com , I'm surprised by multiple features, few of them I can't digest, and few of what I"m aware is Integrity Monitor, is it alternative for Manage Engine's Data Security Plus? and alternative for Graylog 2?

After enough research I thought there is no solid open source SIEM, but Wazuh seems close to good?

For switch, the following is the configuration, I mean it is on SNMP.

Following is info that I can see for it:

Is it possible to pull info every port of switch, just like Spiceworks Networ Monitor used to do? If yes, what template I would need to use or any config? Most switches we have are Cisco SG300.

I set up Zabbix on CentOS many months ago, felt difficult while doing it, and left it without completing further. Below is the one. Since all pointing on it, I may have look on it once again. @notverypunny as you said, see info of " Toner magenta low on printer 2nd A3 Printer"

Hi there,

I'm looking for a simple free or open-source network monitoring software.

Currently, I'm using free version PRTG, to do basic (mostly ping) monitoring of network devices, servers and network printers. The good part is, I create Maps with and run on Browser on the second screen to keep an eye.

I'm looking for something similar with a little bit more insights on Windows Servers and few Windows clients, preferably with Agents.

I'm aware of many open source monitoring tools such as Nagios, Zabbix etc. but I realized those may overkill my requirement or require a huge learning curve and takes time to settle down. I have devices to monitor cisco switches, IP telephony, Windows Servers and clients, HP and Toshiba Printers, biometric devices etc.

Note: I'm just wondering if we can monitor Fax or Telephone line is up etc. ? Recently I got a complaint that Fax was not receiving/ sending, I got go physically and check multiples randomly to check if it's UP and working fine and I got in my mind, if we can really add the FAX number to some monitoring software to make sure it is working etc. since the FAX line is directly connected to Printer, and not going through IP Telephony server if it would be your question.

@scottalanmiller Yes. I know Rocky is not out yet, but people might have hope about a real free, enterprise and reliable one, from the same CentOS guy?

@travisdh1 said in What do you use to manage multiple Linux servers?:

Ansible and salt are my first two choices. Cockpit can work as well, but not as easily centrally managed.

I came across Ansible and Salt. As I remember both are Open Source.

Whether both are like Server-Client Architecture? Just install Server on some CentOS or Ubuntu and install Agents on the client machine? so can monitor, make changes, install software, run any updates etc. from server?

By the way, whether the servers are GUI?
