In reality, to get best results, use some combination of few such systems. All have string sides and weak sides. (For example, snmpstat shows excellent network view, allowing to see exactly what is going on, and shows good unlimited traffic patterns, such as average packet size etc, have embedded tickets and reports, but have hardcoded set of parameters so if you want something out of it's scope, it's not enough. Others, such as nagual or cricket, allows to monitor everything but can not show system overview and do not have usage reports. )
Add in Nodemap (http://nodemap.internode.on.net) as a way of gluing things together too. Provides an overview (configurable level of detail) and can be configured with hyperlinks to other places (MRTG/Cricket graphs, site descriptions, etc) - mark -- Mark Newton Email: newton@internode.com.au (W) Network Engineer Email: newton@atdot.dotat.org (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82282999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223
