[AusNOG] Network monitoring software

[James Braunegg]

Dear Radtek

We use a combination of software from SolarWinds, PRTG and ManageEngine along with using Cacti and a few smaller applications each software has its pro's and con's and we found it's easier to use different software for different tasks.

Some software has better ability for reporting, some better ability for alerting, and some better real time visibility, if you're in Melbourne I would be happy to show you our setup in our NOC and how we use each software for visibility across our network and datacentre.

Kindest Regards

Hi Guys,

I have been asked to review our network monitoring software that we use internally to monitor our own infrastructure, but also to monitor the various layer 2 and layer 3 customer tails we have around the country.

I'm looking for any recommendations from people who are happy with the products that they have inhouse. Looking for a commercial product really (as long as it's not ridiculously expensive).

At my previous employers we have used PRTG and Solarwinds, which were OK, but I know Solarwinds was very expensive. One important feature that we need is a device dashboard that will show us the status and details of a device like IP addresses, IOS and firmware versions, error stats, etc.

Any suggestions from fellow ausnoggers here?

Regards,

Radek
