We currently have ansible, solarwinds and librenms in our environment but ran into an issue recently where a config setting was lost. I know ansible can check these things but then I’ll have to configure email and stuff I guess to send alerts? What solution are you using?
We’ve been using CheckMK for years, even before it was conveniently packaged as OMD, and I would definitely recommend it. We use SaltStack and have a hook on VM deploys/destroys where it adds/removes from monitoring automatically, works great for us.
