Yea seems like prtg is still the way to go for important things. I would love to have the unlimited lic and just do everything on it (adding all our customer units). Prtg auto discovery works really well but, unlimited lic is $10,800 ☹

Yup, like Josh said. Observium is pretty sweet and good be awesomer. We've been pushing on them for some better support for wireless devices but haven't got any movement on it yet, even with quite a few offers to pay them. For us, we use PRTG for critical devices to alter us in email, sms, etc because Observium can only test every 5 minutes and still have some hokiness in alerting. But it kicks butt at tracking traffic, 95th % stuff, and even things like tracking firmware versions, and autodiscovery. We've integrated SmokePing into it for some better ping stats and are working on using some of their unix agents for bind, apache, and mysql. Rancid is on our list as well.

Everything I've configured I've done using this: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options Or via the observium mailing list... like setup a ramdisk to push all of the .rrd's to before syncing with a folder on the SSD array (every 6 hrs). I've been on there with Robbie Wright, Chris Ruschman, and a few others trying to get them to support certain products. I guess I'll just have to push a pile of cash their way. I really like observium as a whole.

Besides prtg and cacti is there anything else out there worth looking into. Currently we use prtg to monitor all of our towers and things at our noc. Then we use cacti to monitor our customers. Just curious what you guys use and if there anything new coming out.
