I use cacti, seems to do an OK job for what I use it for. And it's free :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 3:13 PM, Scott Voll <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:svoll.voip@gmail.com">svoll.voip@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br><a href="http://www.cisco.com/ipsla" target="_blank">www.cisco.com/ipsla</a><br><br>I'm using it for various synthetic tests on our LAN and WAN links for such things as call quality and latency between CUCM subscribers. test results are pollable via SNMP and you can graph them with MRTG or cacti if you happen to use those.<br>
I'm not doing any alerting with it currently but I know it can be configured to send SNMP traps if a threshold is exceeded.<br><br>Ed<br><br>

<p><span lang="EN-CA">Hi,</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">I'm looking to purchase good VoIP monitoring tool(s) and would like to know what other people in the community are using?</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">I want two different types of tool. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">One that is proactively monitoring the network / QoS / Call Manager and notifies me of issues, able to do synthetic tests as well. Some reports and dashboard are also something that is needed. I've been researching products such as Prognosis, CA Ehealth (since we are using Spectrum) and Cisco Operations Manager (Service Monitor).</span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">The other product would be sniffer type such as JDSU DA-3400 / Probe or something running on a laptop that can analyse voice traffic on a SPAN port. Cisco has probes as well with their Service Monitor product which sounds good. Anybody using probes to capture/analyse voice traffic? Which product are you using and pros/cons?</span></p>
