[TriLUG] Open source software to monitor hundreds of VMs

[Matt Pusateri via TriLUG]

ELK - Elastic Search Logstash Kibana as a project seems to be making it difficult to download/install unless you want to clone github. I'm wondering if their setting up for a more closed or thinly veiled open source model. 

I recommend Shinkin.io. Nagios like, integrates graphite, scales both horizontally and vertically. Handles multi data center. Can use a Nagios config. Has redundancy of services and failover. Has a little bit of a learning curve setting up, But nowhere near the nightmare of openNMS
