Looks interesting. Nagios is what is used here for monitoring and
although rusty, once upon a time, I use to cut quite a lot of perl, so
reasonable skill set match. Will check it out.
Although on-going monitoring of the systems is definitely required, the
first step is to just get an overall handle on the situation. There is
no documentation and configuration, maintenance etc has been patchy.
