Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Monitoring
network??
There is a program called Loriot (Shareware now, but I have the
freeware version if anyone needs it) that is a network management software
that can send emails and do all kinds of cool stuff. You really need to know
your SNMP though to use it. I am working on a loging script now but it could
still take some time to finish it. MRTG can be used in windows as a loger.
simpleNMS can log stats but is limited to a fixed polling of 10-11 seconds and
can eat up bandwidth. simpleNMS's data is saved to a text based log file that
could be parsed and posted to a web page.
SMARTBRIDGES TECHS - Can we have an option to set the polling interval
in simpleNMS?
Ok I have changed everything over to smartbridge
APP's. I used to have cisco 340 equiptment and had my mikrotik router setup
with static routes to the radios and could check the logs remotely without any
problems(turn the ip's on and off in the router when I wanted access). Well
now I have a problem and I would think there had to be something better than
having to learn mrtg and set all that up (probly take me forever) I could pay
someone to do it but I still have another learning curve just to check the
logs of my radios. Why does this have to be so complicated? The software
smartbridges is nice but it does not let me see anything on my webserver(like
a status webpage) thru the net on dial-up. (dont laugh it isnt funny, I
can not get my own service). I am wondering what all of you are doing to
monitor your networks remotely. Am I the only one left that has not learned
Linux....lol I had to pay someone to program my webserver and now it's looking
like I have to pay them to make a monitoring system for my network because I
have no logs to check. Someone should make an easy to install has everything
your need to run it software solution for this??
