[c-nsp] OT: Open Source Network Monitor

[Netfortius]

My $0.02 - and DISCLAIMER: I am in no way, shape or form related to this 
company, except for being a happy customers of theirs!

I have built throughout the years various open source systems (Linux-based), 
such as MRTG w/RRD ones, Nagios, Cacti, etc. In the end I have come to 
appreciate my and my group's time in not having to maintain tools with high 
requirements for resources (though apparently "free"), and just pay for a 
software bundle, mostly open source, which delivered all the tools with easy 
to use config interfaces, all in one place. Highly, highly recommended - I am 
using their MRTG/RRD components, syslog, inventory, alarming, netflow, etc. - 
WebNM w/Denika, Logalot (I do not think What's Up Gold is worth it) are very 
good:

In the yearly maintenance you get a person from their crew to come and 
upgrade, when need be, and unlimited number of calls for help, where they 
build for you anything odd (which does not fit the regular standard 
templates).

HTH,
Stefan
