This looks like a great tool. Let us know how you like it.
Did not end up installing the CentOS 7 because I am out of spare memory space on my VM host. New server coming in this week, so I'll be able to do it then.

I am very interested to see how this ends up working. Looks like a pretty decent choice. I never find myself happy with any of the available options. They all seem like they will be good then end up being a ton of work to manage or just fall short of the mark.

I plan on spinning this up next week, so I will try to reply here once I get things in working order.

If I can find time, I'm hoping to give it a try too.

My SW server is giving me hell. The scans SW server are doing is sending the CPU usage through the roof. If everything goes good I hope to stop the SW server scans and switch to this.

@lance Oh yeah, huge resource use. Check out the IOPS hit too. It takes a massive toll on your resources if you have it on a shared platform at all.

Thanks for the heads up, I will have to check that out.

I was actually looking at this last week. I want to try it looks good for the networking/server side. but for workstations it doesn't look like it shows service tag/warranty info or installed software.
My dream would be free rogue device detection as well.

Can anyone tell me the name of the ticketing/helpdesk software that recently became free to use in the past couple months, I'm sure it was in ML it was talked about.

@lance ServiceDesk+?

Found it here. http://www.mangolassi.it/topic/67/zoho-manageengine-servicedesk-plus-is-now-free/2 Maybe if observium goes well I will just get away from SW.

@thecreativeone91 Thanks. That was the one.

Now that would be awesome.

The nice thing is I might be able to gain another windows server 2012 license back by removing it. well the AV management console will still be on the but Meh, I would put that on just about any server, ServiceDesk+ runs in linux fine.

I am very hopeful that we can get this moving once we get our VMware update project out of the way. Need to get our VMware vSphere hosts patched up before we deploy any new systems on them. Once that is done, this is high on the list to try out. Maybe this weekend, we will see. I have not forgotten about this one.

http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/We use that internally, the hosted version, it has been very good.

We use it at my work. It really helps finding data flows and hardware.

Cool, how do you like it? What does it compare to?
