Subject: [AusNOG] Network monitoring software

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
