We’ve covered Hyperic HQ on this site before as part of the set of open source system management products. Hyperic has just announced version 3.2.3 of its HQ product.

To recap: Hyperic HQ provides open source system management of Apache, Tomcat, LAMP, WAMP, WebSphere, JBoss, and WebLogic stacks. It also manages virtualization and VMware machines. The product is under the GPL license and is freely downloadable. On the other hand, the Hyperic HQ Enterprise is only available as an time-limited evaluation download.

Hyperic HQ is deployed in two parts: the HQ server, which collects and presents the information from the agents; and the HQ agents, which run on the monitored system.

Hyperic HQ 3.2.3 is available as a free download.
