[AusNOG] Network Monitoring Systems

[Karl Kloppenborg]

We have used a whole range of products (Nagios, OpenNMS, Cacti, Dude,  
NetXMS, Zabbix)

However at the end of the day nothing really suited what we were  
after, so we decided to write our own based off Cacti and Nagios.

What we came up with was a NMS system built into our global control  
panel "Karltec-Kontrol" which allows our admins to monitor our whole  
network and users to monitor just their devices and ports based on  
what we set in our billing system.

But for the most part its now a hybrid of Karltec-Kontrol and Cacti,  
which we are planning to move entirely to Karltec-Kontrol shortly thus  
scrapping cacti/Nagios from our large pile of software we never use ;)



Cheers!
