May '07 BayLISA Monitoring SIG: Mini- to Mega-Monitoring

Between the two presenters at the next Monitoring SIG we'll span the  
breadth and complexity of monitoring sites:

1) Bob will outline the modest needs of his "two servers at the colo"  
configuration: he doesn't have any monitoring in place yet, so we'll  
brainstorm about what he should deploy and how.

2) Charity from Linden Labs will discuss the current challenges and  
future plans for the three-and-a-half sys admins managing and  
monitoring the 4000+ servers(!) that sustain Second Life.

We'll use these two examples to frame how to approach setting up and  
maintaining a monitoring setup.  Newbies: bring your thorniest (or  
most basic) monitoring questions and issues.  Not-So-Newbies: come  
prepared to share your experiences re. successful deployment,  
knowledge of specific tools and techniques, etc.

What: BayLISA Monitoring SIG VII: Mini- to Mega-Monitoring
Who: Anyone interested in IT monitoring issues and tools (newbies  
particularly welcome!)
