At MMS this year, i had a chat with Alex at the Novell booth and he also showed me a demo on what's coming in the Novell System Center Management Pack for Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).
The Management Pack contains ready monitors for BIND/DNS, DHCP, Samba, OpenLDAP, SUSE Firewall and CUPS.
Plucking the following info from the Novell Beta MP program, here is what Novell says that the MP will include:
- Discovery of SLES servers based on MS Cross platform discovery wizard
- Automatic deployment of plug-ins for the management agent
- For all services to report the state of the service running vs not-running
- For all services to stop/start/restart the service
- View alerts for most services
- Keep track of allocated IP addresses by DHCP service
- Statistical information for BIND/DNS service
- Able to monitor Samba shares, connections, sessions
- Provides connection information for OpenLDAP
I hope to find time to test this soon and report on it
