safeguards, and so on. However, the tools discussed in this section can help an
enterprise sysadmin get started.
Landscape
Canonical, the company that finances much of the Ubuntu development, has a
monitoring service incorporated into its proprietary, fee-based system
administration tool, Landscape. Landscape has a special dashboard that
provides monitoring information and creates an interface for easily managing
multiple Ubuntu systems, including Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud and Amazon
EC2 installations. For more information, see https://landscape.canonical.com.
Other Enterprise Server Monitoring Tools
A number of top-quality monitoring tools are available. We have touched on
only one rather basic option. For more information about other enterprise
server monitoring options, such as Zenoss and Nagios, take a look at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers#Monitoring.
