[c-nsp] MPLS service provider monitoring tools

[Rahman Fazlur]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some recommendations about network monitoring tools (open
source or commercial). This is a MPLS Network with around 300 clients.
L3vpn and L2vpn running. There are some central vpn services as well.

There are no te tunnels.

Device list are

ASR 9k (9004)
ASR 100X
ISR 4000 series

The requirements are.

1. Monitor client wan link with utilization.
2. Monitor PE devices and core devices. cpu, , memory, snmp trap with email
altert, etc.
3. Monitor VPN routes, performance? anything else..
4. Good to have lot of dash board options (like cacti weathermap , etc)
5. Capacity reporting.


What is the best tool to provision the CPE (APIC-EM ?) as well.  Any advice
will be great.
Both primary and secondary CPE run mpls.
