Monfarm is an alarm-enabled monitoring system for serverfarms. It produces dynamically updated HTML pages showing serverfarm status. Alarms can be sent via a number of channels.
Monfarm is written in Perl and freely available under GNU Public License (see gpl.txt for more information).
Monfarm comes with support for ping, tcp/udp port and Citrix Metaframe monitoring. Alarms can be sent via network messages and/or e-mail.
