I always tried to avoid any deal with SNMP TRAPS as most unreliable and unconvenient way of alerting (unfortunately, it can not be avoided totally). We use 'syslog' (syslog-ng + home written syslog analyzers + copmmercial soft, sometimes) when possible. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Smith" <mksmith@noanet.net> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 9:10 AM Subject: RE: Open-Source Network Management Tools -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
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.
Recommendations?
Thanks.
I'd like to expand the question by asking, what Open-Source applications do people use for SNMP Trap collecting and alarming? We're very happy with Nagios for polling, but we have a lot of optical components that send information via Traps that then needs to be culled, trimmed and analyzed.
