MRTG can monitor the items you've mentioned, with the possible exception
of the SMTP spooler.  There's info on the MRTG site about using it to
monitor SPLAT.

Regarding your item 4, SPLAT is a pre-hardened OS, and CheckPoint will
not support loading extra stuff like BigBrother on it.

Even without being able to make your items 3 and 4 work, from a security
standpoint, SPLAT is going to be the better choice since you don't have
the Windows OS vulnerabilities (known and unknown) to be concerned with.

Subject: [FW-1] Splat Snmp options

I'm going to be moving from a Win2k based system to a Splat based
platform. Some of the things I'm testing to make sure I can still do
are:

1. Snmp of the interfaces to know the load of the network.

2. Snmp of the processor, load and committed memory (in use).

3. Some way to monitor that the spool used by SMTP is filling up or not.
I've found the antivirus (on a different box) sometimes gets hung and
stops getting mail from the firewall for processing. Spotting that the
spool directory is accumulating files is the easiest way to detect the
problem.

4. Splat likely doesn't support BigBrother for some of this, gee that
would be nice.

The first one or two, I quite sure work, but interested if there are any
gotcha to look out. The 3rd and 4th are things that would make me much
more comfortable with the conversion. While I trust Splat way farther
than Win2k, Win2003 or whatever, at least I have a wealth of monitoring
options.
