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.

mddiagnose
MDDIAGNOSE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MDDIAGNOSE(8)
NAME
mddiagnose -- gather information to aid in diagnosing Spotlight issues
SYNOPSIS
mddiagnose -h
mddiagnose [-f path] [-e path] [-p path] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
The mddiagnose tool gathers system and Spotlight information in order to assist Apple when investigating issues related to Spotlight. A great
deal of information is harvested, spanning system state, system and Spotlight details.
What mddiagnose Collects:
o A spindump of the system
o Several seconds of top output
o Individual samples of mds and mdworker
o Paths for all files used by Spotlight to contain its database on every volume
o All system logs
o All spin and crash reports for the following processes:
mds
mdworker
o Recent spin and crash reports for the following processes, for all local users:
mds
mdworker
o The query text and result quality statistics for recent Spotlight searches. The actual results of the searches are not gathered
o General information about disks and mounted network shares
o The path of the last file indexed by each mdworker process on behalf of Spotlight. The path of the last file which resulted in a
crash of an mdworker process. In each case, only the path is gathered, not the contents of the file
o Spotlight configuration for each volume currently mounted on your system. This includes the path and size of all files used inter-
nally by Spotlight as well as a listing of paths that are user excluded from indexing
o Comprehensive information about internal state of Spotlight
What mddiagnose Doesn't Collect:
o No user data is harvested from any volume
o No paths or files found by any search are returned
o No database storage or user files are returned
o No authentication credentials are harvested from the system
OPTIONS
-h Print full usage.
-m Gather a subset of the normal report.
-f path Write the diagnostic to the specified path.
-p path Gather Spotlight permissions and filter information. Run as owner of that file.
EXIT STATUS
mddiagnose exits with status 0 if there were no internal errors encountered during the diagnostic, or >0 when an error unrelated to external
state occurs or unusable input is provided by the user.
