MOnitoring Software for Unix servers
Guys,
I need a monitoring software for my Unix servers.
Over the last couple of years, the number has increased to well over 40 servers.
All have different applications running on them and it is impossible to go to everyone of them and do checks.
I was using Spotlight on Unix.
I was wondering if you all can suggest a better one than Spotlight,
I need to view faults as they occur, create reports, sar data, etc...
Kindly respond to this mail if you have a solution or an alternate way to do this.

mdimport(1) BSD General Commands Manual mdimport(1)
NAME
mdimport -- import file hierarchies into the metadata datastore.
SYNOPSIS
mdimport [-VXLArgn] [-d level | category] [-w delay] file | directory
DESCRIPTION
mdimport is used to test Spotlight plug-ins, list the installed plug-ins and schema, and re-index files handled by a plug-in when a new plug-
in is installed.
The following options are available:
-g plugin Load the plugin at the provided path, ignoring system installed plugins. Useful for testing plugins that have not yet been
installed.
-V Print timing information for this run of mdimport.
-A Print out the list of all of the attributes and their localizations in the current language and exit.
-X Print the schema file and exit
-r Ask the server to reimport files for UTIs claimed by the listed plugin. For example, the following would cause all of the chat
files on the system to be reimported:
mdimport -r /System/Library/Spotlight/Chat.mdimporter
-p Print out performance information gathered during the run.
-L Print the list of installed importers and exit.
-d level Print debugging information. Level can be 1-4.
-n Don't actually set the attributes on the file. Useful for debugging.
-w msecs Wait for the specified interval between scanning files.
NOTES
The -f switch is obsolete in Leopard and beyond.
