[AusNOG] Network Management and Tools

[Sean K. Finn]

Confirmed : I plug it into Cacti.

Makes setting up weather-maps a breeze as you can just select from your Cacti-configured data sources and drag&drop arrange devices.

If you have free time on your hands you can even replace the images with your own images, backgrounds etc, AND, hover over network links to see the actual cacti graph.

Very very very nice for visually tracing bottlenecks, but one of those things that takes a while to setup, and you cant live without once it is.

How about Network Weathermap?  http://www.network-weathermap.com/

I have worked with it a while back, but not recently. I know it only
pulls RRD's together but sure looks pretty :-)

I believe there is a plugin for Cacti for it too.
