Pros
  • The ability t o easily add custom scripts, monitoring agents etc.to customize exactly whatever needs monitored or checked within specific services being ran by different machines.
  • Logging
  • Monitoring agent support via ssh connections
Cons
  • So-so

Pros
  • Scalable Monitoring Solution across various environments without compromising functionality
Cons
  • It is hard to say
