It is more the ITIL standards, and Commercial vendor lobbying, our accountants are clueless :) 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.) > True The only frequent changes are user account modification, mounted nfs files, and scheduler configurations files if log level need to be altered. I can just write a script or use a file integrity checker to check these. The problem is that the department that is asking us to implement configuration change monitoring based on a security audit items want more than that, want to know if a service was modified, and was that according to an agreed policy or not.? I was thinking maybe if i can estabilsh some baselines through ganglia, and log monitoring probably using SEC, I could advise a solution, and the alerting probably could be done using SEC/GroundWorks/Zenoss regards Walid
