Re: [hylafax-users] monitoring hylafax with Microsoft Operations Manager

["Sam Luxford-Watts" <slwatts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Hmm... depends on your point of view. If you are a business that has
limited linux skills, yet has many MS skills and over ten times the
windows servers than linux ones then MOM isn't such a mad decision, yes
you have to pay to monitor each server, but in a world where you have to
pay for someone's time, it actually works out more efficient than paying
someone to setup and configure an open source equivalent. It's the mad
world we live in!

... looks like the syslog route may be the way forward.... if I make any
progress I will post it back to the list!

Cheers,

Sam

This strikes me as somewhat unusual -- in a truly heterogenous
environment
(not just different Windows versions) it's weird to find somebody
monitoring *nix servers from Windows and not the other way around,
especially since MOM appears to be the philosophic opposite of open
source
-- it's a framework designed to let you pay for everything you monitor. 
(Awesome!)

Out of the box, so to speak, MOM is capable of taking a syslog stream,
so
if you wanted to leverage your investment in MOM, you could point
hylafax
at syslog, and point syslog at MOM, then parse out anything you cared
about.  Alternatively, you can write a MOM script to poke hylafax's
ports,
I suppose, if you wanted to periodically verify its operation.

I have yet to run across anybody who has bothered doing either, but that
doesn't mean they don't exist.  If they have, they've probably released
it
as a management pack you can pay for.
