Sentinel
Primarily a plugin-based extendable remote system monitoring utility that focuses on central management and flexibility while still being featureful. Monitoring can support multiple architectures because the monitoring probes are filed by a library process that hands out probes based on OS/arch/hostname. Uses XML for configuration and OO perl for most programming. Requires a few perl modules, see the sentinel.pod file in the distribution.
