HI All
I use cacti to graph as well as to monitor services on windows boxes.
Is it possible to Schedule downtime on a device so that I do not get alerts when a device is downed on purpose? As I get deeper into my monitoring I am thinking maybe I should be using something like Nagios. Not looking to start any heated debates just wondering what the opinions are as far as best Open Source tool to use for Monitoring services and servers? I have mostly Windows servers ( 123) and a handfull of different nix variants as well as Firewalls , Switches, Routers etc. I see some stuff about linking Nagios and cacti so maybe this is the route I should take.. I prefer cacti as it is much less complicated to get devices added and monitored.

Scheduled Downtime
No I am not yet using scheduled downtime. I am asking if this was a feature that was available native or as a plugin.

I would suspect that this would be a nice addon for one of the Plugins previously mentioned.
Once we have the 0.8.8 version implemented, we will have the concept of Sites, and you would conceptually be able to disable a complete site in one mouse click (or so).

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
