Description
The tool is promising:
- All the components are free software (they sell managed services and consulting)
- Can do alerts, or delegate them to nagios
- It has metrics plugins for almost all the software we commonly use
Drawbacks: It seems that does not natively aggregates logs as logstash does, but in the worst case we could use the same input plugins to route the logs to an ELK instance.
