Comment Nagios + Rackview + ? (Score 1) 125
I've been thinking about this for some time - my job involves being in the team looking after a big university data centre(s) and for some time now we have been seeking solutions for documenting our networks, applications, topology etc.
So far we've deployed nagios (http://www.nagios.org) for monitoring and rolled our own blog for notes / comments on servers and services.
I would like to do some more integration, possibly utilising Rackview (http://rackview.sourceforge.net). DCML (http://www.dcml.org) showed some promise but now seems dead.
If anyone is further down this path, I'd really appreciate some input, otherwise I can release the first stage design specs from our project and see if we can build a community around that.
