Re: monit comparison to zabbix munin monitorix

[Martin Pala]

Thanks for opinion :)

It's good to hear the users experiences and meanings about Monit for 
future Monit improvements.

Just few comments:

Monit works on several unixes:

MacOS X
Linux
Solaris
OpenBSD
FreeBSD
NetBSD

There is also not actively maintained AIX and HPUX support (we have no 
access to these platforms).

Some user reported that he's using Monit on Windows via Cygwin. In the 
future (when M/Monit is released) it could be good to add support for 
Windows ...

The M/Monit should allow to centralize the management - collecting data 
from Monit agents and further process/present the data (alerts, trends, 
etc.), it also allows to manage the Monit agents remotely.

We are working on M/Monit hardly and plan to release it till the end of 
the March.
