Moodss 17.1 has just been released. Moodss is a modular multi-platform 
monitoring application, which supports operating systems (Linux, UNIX, 
Windows, ...), databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, ODBC, ...), networking 
(SNMP, Apache, ...), and any device or process for which a module can be 
developed (in a scripting or compiled language: Tcl, Python, Perl, C).
A very intuitive GUI with full drag'n'drop support allows the 
construction of powerful dashboards with graphs, pie charts, ..., such 
as one which would use the cpustats, memstats, apache and MySQL myhealth 
modules to monitor a busy dynamic web server.
Proactive monitoring is achieved via a thorough thresholds 
functionality, including warning by multiple emails, user defined 
scripts, and an included daemon for background monitoring.
Finally, on top of real-time monitoring, any part of the visible data 
can be stored in a SQL database (MySQL or ODBC) by both the GUI and 
daemon applications, so that, for example, complete history over time 
can be made available in web pages, common spreadsheet software, or 
presentations.
This GPL software is included in Suse Professional (rpms for Redhat also 
available on the author web page), used by IBM to monitor its Linux 
mainframe (see the "IBM e-server zSeries and S/390: System Management" 
redbook) and got an excellent review from Unix Review (further 
information with screenshots at http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss/).
