In this thesis, a centralized hardware monitoring system for HP servers is developed at Ericsson in Linköping. The centralized system is then evaluated and compared to the current decentralized monitoring system. The results show that not only is the information displayed by the centralized system more detailed, but the configuration process for new servers is also simplified. Cost savings are also identified, since the same monitoring plugin and configuration script can be used for all server generations. Interviews with employees who work with monitoring on a daily basis also shows that they prefer the centralized monitoring system over the current decentralized system, however a high availability solution needs to be implemented for the central part of the monitoring system since it otherwise can become a single point of failure.
