As others pointed out, without additional information it is hard to give you any recommendation. The usual suspects in the open source world would be nagios, cacti, mrtg, netflow, ... in case you want to have something to check it out. Best would be you just write a list down on what data or monitoring you really need. cheers, Thorsten

I like Zenoss. It's like nagios and cacti. It also does syslog, and the enterprise version does netflows as well.

There is no tool called netflow. ;-) To collect and analyze netflow data I'd recommend nfdump.sf.net and nfsen.sf.net as open source solution.

Hi Joshua, What kind of monitoring are we talking about ? Network services, performance, traffic, latency, ... ? You might want to take a look at some popular Open Source tools, such as: http://www.nagios.org/ http://www.zabbix.com/ http://www.hyperic.com/ http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.cacti.net/ http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ ... to get an idea of what's possible. Cheers, Phil
