-----Original Message----- From: Charlie Khanna - NextWeb [mailto:charlie () nextweb net] Subject: Network Monitoring System - Recommendations? Hi - I was interested in finding out what software applications other ISPs are using for network monitoring? For example: 1) Overall network health - uptime reports 2) Backup router config automatically 3) Bandwidth reporting (or integration with an MRTG-type app) 4) SNMP trap support (BGP/OSPF session drops - emails out) 5) Database back end (port info into or over to other apps)
I've been using Argus - http://argus.tcp4me.com I've found this program more and more useful as time goes on... This should fit in with every point except #5. But, of course, the data has to be stored somewhere, so it should be fairly trivial to either write a parser, or modify the source to use a database. At any rate, I really like this program, it works wonderfully.
I'm just looking for something well rounded for a small ISP. I've heard about OpenNMS and other apps but I'd like to get everyone's feedback. Thanks! -Charlie
