Check out InterMapper (http://www.intermapper.com/) Its java based, but
works real well

I have been using Zenoss quite a bit. It does not shows exact real time
stat of interface but close to real time + it has ton more options for
monitoring via Zenpacks.

I remember someone here saying that real time monitoring gives you
useless results, because if you make the time of measurement small
enough the utilisation becomes 100%. Measurement of throughput is how
many times this happens during a particular time interval. I hope I
remembered right.

Reminds me of Parmenides - Wikipedia

"Moreover he argued that movement was impossible because it requires
moving into "the void", and Parmenides identified "the void" with
nothing, and therefore (by definition) it does not exist. That which
does exist is The Parmenidean One, which is timeless, uniform, and
unchanging"

I think you are referring to this thread -
  Carbon60: Managed Cloud Services

and in particular this quote:

In a troubleshooting situation I think real time is valid. Off course, is
non-sense doing this for "normal" monitoring...

But firstly define: What's real-time? every second? miliseconds? 10
seconds? 30 seconds? It's subjective nowadays

Utilisation doesn't "become 100%", instead measured utilisation will
either be 100% or 0% at each interval.

Thanks, and yes that was what I was trying to say. :slight_smile:

Try out Observium...simple install and integration with RANCID.
