RMM Ideas for MSP
-
Itarian is a total fail. It is 1) broken and we can't get their hosted product to work at all and 2) doesn't support our environment. So that one, while tempting, was easy to rule out.
-
For remote access we plan to focus on MeshCentral, so inclusion of remote access or what they use isn't important.
-
Salt isn't cutting it?
-
I've heard that https://techstogether.com/ is an alternate Kaseya VSA provider than can offer per endpoint pricing

Interesting, thanks for the heads up!

Not for the monitoring that we want. This is just a stop gap till we have that were we want to be. That is still our plan.

Okay, it was a corrupted account (which worries me some.) But making a new account, it is working now. So testing this for reals.

What about using Prometheus with Pushgateway and Grafana?
-
Autotask was bought by Datto, it is expensive but works well. It is pricing per tech which is the hard part.

Check Action1, they came up new when I was researching things and they have a free edition

Or Maybe something with using Beats + Logstash instead?
Like Beats - Logstash - Elasticsearch - Grafana
Or look at the other Logstash output plugins? Maybe Beats - Logstash - Graphite? -
This will come of surprise, but after looking at what RMM does, and mainly the alerting expect, Zabbix can do similar with its default built in templates.
For the management, you can use FOSS or RDP stuff or VNC.
However I am eyeing the WAC, windows admin center, free tool from MS and can be installed ontop of Win10
either that or I dont get RMM

That had come to mind and I had been thinking that that might be a good idea.

We already have MeshCentral (also FOSS) there and does it perfectly.

Oh well, that makes ruling that one out easy for us then.

What Zabbix lacks is patch management type stuff. That's a big deal.

Where is Salt falling short for patch management?

Integration. Zabbix and Salt together might handle what is needed.
