I use this (designed in Relcom 5 years ago, and re-newed hhere this year): http://snmpstat.sf.net (SNMP network monitoring, + Cisco configuration repository with automated change control, + ProBIND2, + many things which was not included, such as mhonacr archiving for all alerts / warnings / audits / reports, mnogosearch for document seaerch etc). In addition, we use 'cricket' for tiny router monitoring. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Kinsella" <jlk@thrashyour.com> To: "Claydon, Tom" <Tom.Claydon@DobsonTelco.net> Cc: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 12:59 PM Subject: Re: Open-Source Network Management Tools

I'm looking for open-source alternatives for network management, such as Nagios or Big Brother. We are currently using WhatsUp Gold, and would like to move to something more flexible (and not running on a Windows platform). Something that has email/paging capabilities, and can process SNMP traps would be a plus for us as well.
Christ, WhatsUp Gold...that's giving me flashbacks! Have you checked out... http://www.nagios.org http://www.bb4.org ? :)
I suspect what you might be looking for is something like OpenNMS, http://www.opennms.org
There's a few other packages out there, but IMHO they all suck in one way or another.
