Subject: Network Monitoring System - Recommendations?Hi - I was interested in finding out what software applications other ISPs are
using for network monitoring? For example:1) Overall network health - uptime reports
2) Backup router config automatically
3) Bandwidth reporting (or integration with an MRTG-type app)
4) SNMP trap support (BGP/OSPF session drops - emails out)
5) Database back end (port info into or over to other apps)
I've been using Argus - http://argus.tcp4me.com
I've found this program more and more useful as time goes on... This should fit in with every point except #5. But, of course, the data has to be stored somewhere, so it should be fairly trivial to either write a parser, or modify the source to use a database.
At any rate, I really like this program, it works wonderfully.
