Rivermuse

RiverMuse on RHEL/Centos 5

My yesterday post about RiverMuse only being available on Fedora Core 9 wasn’t even cold yet and today Rivermuse already announced the availability of their RHEL5 binaries.

Awesome Open Source !

Rivermuse First Impressions

First of all, I don’t come from a Tivoli, OpenView background , I have never touched the commercial network monitoring tools and I`m not a network guy . I’m an infrastructure guy whith a focus on Open Source platforms so I have been using Nagios and more recently Zabbix, Zenoss etc for the better part of the last 2 decades in large to very large environments.
My syslogs go to a central (r)syslog)-ng) server where I frequently abuse grep. So If my experience with RiverMuse is not what it should be , there’s work to be done on both sides ;)

RiverMuse

Rivermuse is the new Fault Management platform tool on the market, their initial relase was lurking around the corner for a while now but since earlier this week it finally arrived

Eager to see what all the fuzz was about I jumped to their dowload page to find an yum repository for Fedora Core 9, that’s right .. it’s july 2009 and RiverMuse released their platform for a Linux distribution that got it’s End Of Life notice last month.
