Open (Source|System) Monitoring and Reporting Tool
OpenSMART is a monitoring (and reporting) environment for servers and applications in a network. Its main features are a nice Web front end, monitored servers requiring only a Perl installation, XML configuration, and good documentation. It is easy to write more checks. Supported platforms are Linux, HP/UX, Solaris, AIX, *BSD, and Windows (only as a client).

Changes: New checks include mqconnect, which tests if a connection to a WebSphere MQ QueueManager is possible; mysqlconnect, which tests if a connection to a MySQL database is possible; readfile, which tests if a file in a (potentially network-based) filesystem is readable; and db2lck, which tests if there are critical lock situations on your DB2 database. Many bugs were fixed. A username and password can be specified. Recursive include functionality was added for osagent.conf.xml. Major performance improvements were made.
