RE: Automated Nmap Scans / Front End

["MARTIN Benoni" <benoni.martin () arcelor com>]

Hi !

I used Babelweb (www.bb4.com) before. This was a free tool then (3 years ago), runs under nix and win boxes, is quite 
easy to set up, monitors the standard services (http, ftp, pop, imap, ...) and you can make it monitor what you want 
writing your own scripts.

BB is easier than Nagios, but a little bit less powerful.

HTH.

Well,
I am using Nagios to monitor my networks.
You'll find Nagios in nagios.org. It is a very complex but intuitive distributed tools' set to monitor many network's 
services .

Moreover if you are looking for more functionality have a look to http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ in this community 
you'll find much manuals, plug in and add ons for your Nagios.
