[AusNOG] Network Graphing Tools

Tue Jul 1 09:34:22 EST 2014

Dear Shane

Your correct, we use this for basic up down monitoring as it directly communicates with GSM modems connected to com ports which is fantastic for out of band direct SMS messaging.  We purchased the license years ago when they offered unlimited devices these days they have restricted new licenses to 500 devices at a lower price point for new sales to push people to use NPM.

Kindest Regards

Dear All

We use a combination of network graphing software in our SOC and NOC as not one package deals with everything we require.

In general we run Catci for long term and 5 minute averages which gives us a global view for both Network, Power and Cooling.

We then run ManageEngine Netflow Analyzer (www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/<http://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/> ) along with PRTG (http://www.paessler.com/prtg/ ) for 1 minute averages which provides fast updates of graphs including flow and interface information.

These fast updating graphs at a quick glance provide the team visual information on interfaces, source and destination, applications ports and protocols within the networks that we support and protect.

We also have lots of real time screens which includes Solar Winds, ping plotters, trace routes all of which provide real time visibility graphs along with a heap of custom scripts and our with ADS-M monitoring from NSFOCUS which drives our DDoS Protection services.

If you're interested in our setup and how our temporary SOC and NOC is configured you can see a few photos here http://www.micron21.com/micron21-soc-noc.php  and or I am always happy to show people in person if you're in town !

Kindest Regards

Hi,

I've been really hammering collectd + graphite + grafana lately.

Grafana is just a replacement dashboard for Graphite, being able to create graphs on the fly and apply various functions quickly is changing how we do some things now for the better, it's very flexible and I can see why the devops crew have been talking it up for a while now.

Regards,
Daniel

We use Statseeker, but it's increasingly and maddeningly showing its age...

+1 for cacti for trend monitoring.

You can get quite fancy dashboards with the weathermap plugin. However, it is just painful to configure them.

Hi Guys,

We currently use Cacti for graphing of network links in our environment and was wandering if there is a better tool out there?
We find Cacti rather clunky and tedious to use and setup new devices interfaces.

Has anyone got thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Georgien
