Re: [PLUG] favorite admin tools

["Daniel W. Ottey" <dan@bluefrogs.us>]

I'll "second" Munin.  We rolled it out to all our Linux servers about two months ago.  It is awesome to see not only current load/statistics, but also to be able to easily see graphs that demonstrate trends over time.  Looking forward to using this for capacity planning, etc.

I adore Munin.  It's great for helping me keep track of how loaded my
servers are.

I also like rsync for its general utility, and duplicity, which is
like rsync but with the ability to do incremental/differential
backups.

I know that Munin and Duplicity can be installed via apt-get on Ubuntu
8.04.  Not sure about other distros.
