Argus is a system and network monitoring application. It will monitor nearly anything you ask it to monitor. It presents a nice clean, easy to view web interface that will keep both the managers happy ("Red Bad. Green Good.") and the techs happy ("Ah! that's what the problem is"). It can also send alerts numerous ways (such as via pager) and can automatically escalate if the techs fall alseep.
Just about anything. Things that the authors didn't think of can easily be added.
Examples
Argus can automatically notify someone (or someones) when things change (things go down, or things come back up). Argus can also automatically escalate issues if they aren't responded to. A typical escalation schedule may go like:
Click here and click 'anonymous access' or log in as user 'guest', password 'guest'.
This is a live system, running the current code release, configured to show many of (but not all of) the features.
