I use nagios - http://www.nagios.org/. It's opensource and very customizable. It's worth a look.

I am looking into purchasing a network monitoring tool. I have look at a few like 2Morrow and ActiveXperts Network Monitor, Big Brother...etc. I really need a network monitoring product that not only monitors links and systems but has the capability to put notifications out on our website. Something with a nice web interface (color radio buttons...) to give a good visual which systems are down. It also needs to send a notification to an email or cel phone and update the website Is there such a product? What tools do you use to monitor your networks? Any suggestions would be great!

I suggest/recommend looking at Ipswitch's What's Up Gold. http://www.ipswitch.com/Products/WhatsUp/ We use it here on everything from our UPS' to our specialty boxes and everything in between ( that covers older AS 400s new I-Series boxes, IBM and DELL servers, a ton of PC class specialty boxes, HP Procurve switches, F5 Load Balancers and Link Controllers -- the list goes on) Map (or multiples) of all devises being monitored, web interface, page/email capability - -depending on your budget and all that good stuff - -I think this may be what you're looking for. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bridges, Samantha Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 9:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Network Monitoring Tool Good morning everyone.

RE: [ActiveDir] Network Monitoring Tool
My company purchased it about 6 months ago... Like Roger said it doesn't monitor services, but it had a ton of other features that more than made up for that in our eyes. My company uses static IP address due to a limitation with one of our vendors so we make use of the IP Address management suite built in as well. I like it, but you should eval it for 30-60 before you spend the money for it.

RE: [ActiveDir] Network Monitoring Tool
I would certainly encourage you to look at Servers Alive (www.woodstone.nu). It's a
robust monitoring tool, has lots of checks (including services), and is a *real* value
at $99 to monitor up to 1000 servers.
