I'm already familiar with that.

For now, this is not needed. It's not for the government with sensitive data
or something.

I don't want to annoy you but these tools all do the same, it's a matter of
taste.
For what I need I think Nagios is enough for me.

But what do you use? Are you administering also several servers? I remember
Hassan told me he manages hundreds of servers, so I was curious about how
he's doing that, don't take it personal.
