    Any monitoring server recommendations not name Nagios/Zabbix/Icinga?

    We are looking to replace our whatsup subscription with something preferrably just as simple and rock solid. Unfortunately its not going too well.

    I've had experience with nagios and having to go into the command line every single time I want to do something is a pain and the setup is no fun either.

    I tried icinga but since it took 2 hours just to get the packages installed only to find out you still have to edit everything via config files. Even then the hosts failed to show up in the web interface. That's when I realized it would cost more for me to troubleshoot icinga than it would be to just pay for whatsup!

    Zabbix so far isnt too bad but its not great. The interface is awful and adding hosts are incredibly tedious and confusing. Im also having issue with templates not being able to see or recognize a service.

    So Im looking for something that just stinking works that wont require me to add hours upon hours of work to my day. Any recommendations?

    If you have something managing your servers, adding monitoring is easier. If you are managing your devices manually (not managing them), then it is harder. Pick a tool, add 1 or 2 example servers, then figure out how to automate the rest. Maybe discovery or auto registration. If you have asset management, maybe the API. We are a mix of auto registration for servers and api interface from our asset management for network devices.
