semi-ot: network monitoring tools
I was talking to a bunch of people who run ISPs and other networks in LDCs (yes, including Nigeria) and someone asked about monitoring tools to watch traffic on his network so he can get advance warning of dodgy customers and prevent complaints and blacklisting. These people are plenty smart, but don't have a lot of money. Suggestions welcome. R's, John

I'd say it's on topic. OpenNMS has good community support, as well as reasonably priced commercial support - http://www.opennms.org/ I've used OpenNMS for years and it keeps getting better. -- Kind regards, Michael

Enable NetFlow, and use some open-source NetFlow collection/analysis system like nfdump/nfsen, etc. dnstop and the like for DNS can be pretty revealing, as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Luck is the residue of opportunity and design. -- John Milton

Does it utilize flow telemetry? On the main page, they talk about SNMP, making it sound a lot like Nagios . . . ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Luck is the residue of opportunity and design. -- John Milton
