This month's topic:
--------------------------------------
Agentless Server Monitoring
--------------------------------------

We've had several discussions regarding how to best monitor your server
environment; we've talked about MOM, Openview, Big Brother, and others.  This
month we take a look at Heroix Longitude, and their  "Agentless" solution to
monitor and report on OS Metrics such as Network, Disk, Ram, and CPU as well
as database, web, and messaging applications.   The product provides both
alerting and reporting (including trending) for your core OS and several
applications.

The Heroix solution requires no client footprint, is cross-platform (Windows,
AIX, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris), and is web-enabled.

In addition to the traditional Powerpoint and Demo, we'll also discuss best-
practices and real-world monitoring strategies.  This month's guest-speaker is
Ken Leoni, Regional Manager from Heroix out of Newton, Mass.
