This thesis describes the integration of open-source solutions in a company for
the purpose of monitoring its information and communication systems. Our main
goal is to see if such a monitoring system is possible to deploy without the usage of
costly commercial software solutions, using only free and open-source software.
The first part describes the meaning of open-source together with the benefits
and drawbacks of using such solutions in a business environment. We browse
through the standards and best practices for system monitoring and to our specific
needs apply them in a business environment, to deploy a highly reliable solution for
monitoring our information and communication system using free and open-source
software only.
