[cisco-voip] Recommendations for inexpensive monitoring tool

[Ray Burkholder]

If you were to run a Debian based server, you can get Cricket as a package.
Then use the tools from Acktomic's site to automatically scan interfaces and
create Cricket configuration files.  This will include QoS configurations.
You'll then be able to monitor statistics on a per class/interface basis.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Recommendations for inexpensive monitoring tool


Hi

I have a small customer with a centralized CCM cluster and 13 remote sites
with between 4 and 25 phones at each site.  They currently have no network
monitoring solution implemented and they are not willing to spend much money
on one.  I'm looking for recommendations for  inexpensive WAN link
monitoring applications.  I'd like to see utilization on different classes
of traffic; either  based on port or better yet on dscp values.  I'm
thinking about using PRTG but thought I'd see if anyone else has a better
suggestion. 

thanks
