[AusNOG] NOC Software

GrayLog is very nice elastic search for syslog data as well.

With a little thought put into it's configuration, NOC Project actually does a very good job - I just wish more documentation existed and was in English. It can manage VLANs in multiple domains, IP addressing, host IP assignments with host name to DNS exportation and BGP filters / peering management - not a bad feature set overall.

Re VMs: look into the APIs available for ESXi / vCentre for monitoring VMs at the vNIC level.

Regards,

Tim Raphael
