RE: OT: Nagios/ OpenNMS

Exactly good points Marc - we use logicmonitor.com, opmanager & smokeping. The only open source one we invest lots of time in is smokeping for real-time alerts and some very custom high frequency bash scripts that track and alert ntp and ptp clock and timing issues.

thanks

We use both to some extent. I find nagios great for setting alerts but not really a full NMS. OpenNMS is ok. It can monitor and provide graphs but unless you spend a long time building custom views it is hard to use it from a network perspective. Our systems guys like it because they can easily drill down on one host. From a network perspective though I couldn't find any good views to give me stats on the various uplinks etc. Basically if I was hunting an issue I would have to go look link by link.

I have purchased Solar Winds and it is much more useful from a network perspective.
