Announcing the inaugural meeting of the Monitoring SIG next Tuesday, October 10 at 7PM (in conjunction with BayLISA, the local Large Installation System Administrators chapter). They'll be a short overview presentation on Open Source monitoring tools and and then we'll open it up for a discussion of issues people want to cover in the SIG. All interested parties are invited (nay, heartily encouraged!) to attend.
