There is a big push where i work to use commercial monitoring, and service
I'm terribly sorry. this is a sign that accountants have eaten the brains of your IT heads.
What do HPC sites use for configuration/change management, and configuration monitoring other than cfengine, pupet (agent based), are there any agentless monitoring tools available to check for inconsistencies of of a node from other nodes, or deviation from a policy.
HPC clusters are normally a horde of clones. no configuration change is applied individually to a node, but rather applied en-mass. reimaging nodes is not a huge big deal, for instance (and a non-event if you use nfs-root - definitely a good idea in some cases.) _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
