Hardware monitoring

No worries cause your answer wasn't totally wrong :)

>From my POV PRTG is nearly a 100% solution and you do not need much more tools to get an good view of your running inventory. Beside PRTG we're only running some tools for flow analysis, NetApp storage analysis, etc. In sum we're running <5 tools to monitor EVERYTHING (hardware, software, datacentre infra, etc).

Appreciate the amplification.

You simply monitor devices via http (e.g. APIs, etc) or SNMP, etc. You can also integrate other coding languages (Perl, PHP, C++, etc) if you need something unsupported.
