environment for servers and applications in a network.
Main Features are:
- Nice Webfrontend (browser independent)

installation
- for the OpenSMART clients (these are your monitored servers):
just a perl installation is needed (no extra perl packages, no C-
Compiler)
- installation is done in no more than 5 minutes
- it's easy to write more checks
- XML configuration for the clients (what to check)
- OpenSMART's main target is application monitoring
- Supported Platforms: Linux, HP/UX, Solaris, *BSD, AIX, Windows (only
as
client)
- good documentation
- Database backend (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2 are supported)
- GPL
- Demo-Installation at sourceforge.net available.
- you can monitor an oracle database without DBI - Installation (in
fact: You need just your oracle installation and a standard perl and
the OpenSMART client)
- scripts for error notification by email are included. You can easily
write your own notification scripts (in any language you want)
