[c-nsp] Monitoring GUI for Cisco network

[Preston.Newton at consolidated.com]

Summary of some apps in the open-source arena

Graphing:
MRTG (oldie but works) - http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/
NetMRG (I use this and works well) - http://www.netmrg.net/
Cacti (looks good and know others that do) - http://www.cacti.net/
Smokeping (Latency Grapher.  very useful) - 
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/


NMS Services:
NMIS (seen it, looks interesting.  maybe should be in graphing though) - 
http://www.sins.com.au/nmis/
OpenNMS (never used it) - http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Main_Page
Nagios (Use it, it can do SNMP Trapping) - http://www.nagios.org/
JFFNMS (yet another one) - http://www.jffnms.org/index.php
Zabbix (FOSS/Commercial) - http://www.zabbix.com/
Big Brother (not really network, but systems) - http://bb4.com/

Hope it helps.  there is a lack of HPOV equiv apps in the open-source 
area.

I use cacti too. But only for usage graphing as its not a NMS in any
sense of the word... Er.. Phrase.  www.opennms.org is a good NMS for
alerting and monitoring of services.  Cacti is great for usage
reporting.
