[TriLUG] Open source software to monitor hundreds of VMs

[Gary Weinreb via TriLUG]

I've monitored dozens of hosts at a time over many years with Zabbix.  A mix of physical and virtual hosts. Very customizable results delivery and display.

I like it a lot.  Can be implemented to be fairly "automatic" to add new hosts, especially if of a previously "configured-for-monitoring" type.  Can be scaled massively and can be made very robust.
