[c-nsp] Dashboard Network Monitoring Software

[Gregori Parker]

We just moved to Zenoss Ent for server monitoring, and I think it was a
great move.  In my tests however, Zenoss simply didn't cut it for
managing/monitoring our network devices - at least not without weeks of
template customization.  So my search for the ultimate NMS for network
devices continues...until then I'll continue to segment NMS
responsibilities into various subcategories (fault mgmt, config mgmt,
security mgmt, perf mgmt, capacity mgmt, etc) and handle those with a
mix of tools.

Zenoss has two versions, Zenoss Community (free) and Zenoss Enterprise
(not free).  The only notable feature, for network management, I see
in Zenoss Enterprise is the RANCID ZenPack.

The community version is pretty full featured, and looks very cool (I
tested it out for a few days).  Unfortunately, it is very robust,
which translates to a lot of overhead management to get it running
properly.  Nagios, in comparison, just "works", and can be setup
relatively quickly.

Is anyone out there using Zenoss for network monitoring?  How do you
like it?
