That it may be, but as far as what it presents, it has the pretty bits the management guys want. On Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:54:41 +1200, Callum Barr wrote: piece of crap.

Intermapper
works great for us, handles dependancies, has configurable timers for flapping, and all the usual + traps. Remote Access is nice, engineers can bring it up from anywhere on their screen with full maps displayed rather than just a list of probes. It's cheap. For logging Splunk works well.
We've looked at free options but nothing seems to do the job without a ton of scripting and multiple packages. What we don't
need as an enterprise is the product suite from SolarWinds, but its expensive when your talking 8-12,000 IP enabled devices. like is the cost of Intermapper Flows - ideally we'd like to have NetFlow monitoring on everything, but at $300 USD per router + maintenance, it's hard to justify. If anyone knows of decent NetFlow analysers that are less costly for 200+ routers, I'd like to hear about them.

To: "nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [2]" Subject: [nznog] Nagios vs. OpenNMS vs. SomethingElse If you had it all to do over again, what would you use for network monitoring: Nagios, OpenNMS, or something else entirely?
I care about availaility, latency, loss, jitter, and trap handling for interface up/down, loss of power, etc. Sensible behavior in situations where parent routers/links are flapping is also important.
I would very much appreciate input from folks monitoring 1000+ network elements.
