Again, that you for sharing your use of network management tools.<div><br></div><div>I have roughly tallied the main products mentioned: (I counted OpsView as Nagios+MRTG)<div><br><div>Nagios 7</div><div>MRTG 3</div><div>
Cacti 4</div><div>RANCID 5</div><div><br></div><div>and notably </div><div><br></div><div>PRTG 2</div><div>Collectd 2</div><div><br></div><div>Many use custom in-house-developed databases, scripts and tools.</div><div>
<br></div><div>A significant number use commercial products.</div><div><br></div><div>Most described alarm/event/performance management or configuration backup products</div><div><br></div><div>A few mentioned configuration generation systems.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Does that seem about right? Are these typical of what network operators are using?</div><div><br></div><div>No one mentioned (other NMS products that I have heard of) HP OpenView, Tivolli, NetCool, cricket, OpenNMS, ZenOSS or even SNMP2XML ;) ?</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What concerns me is that once upon a time we used Nagios/NetSaint, big-brother, cricket, MRTG, and looked at Rancid, Cacti, OpenNMS and ZenOSS. </div><div><br></div><div>Have we moved in the wrong direction?</div>
