Public bug reported:
This is in progress at debian (
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/being_packaged Debian Bug 390130) and
has a sample package up at http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/
NAV contains the following functionality:
* A topology database modeling the running network. The interconnection of
devices is auto detected.
* A status monitor that detects network outages. For severe cases NAV will
pinpoint root cause, thus solving a potential problem of information overload
(which in turn can decrease the overall downtime).
* Traffic statistics for all “intersections” in the network; i.e. all router
and switch ports. Octet, packet and error counters are collected, along with
CPU and memory statistics (and more). NAV also gathers statistics on servers,
i.e. disk usage, memory, load etc.
* Machine tracker with historical data on the movements of all connected
machines in the network.
* A traffic map that displays topology on layer 3 with drill down view of the
underlying layer 2 topology. Traffic and router CPU load are shown on the same
map.
* A network explorer giving a graphical tree-structured display of the network
on layer 2, also showing spanning tree states. You may for instance search for
a particular server and the network explorer will expand the relevant switches
to show a network trace to the server.
* Reports that lists the inventory of routers and switches in the network.
Information on software version, equipment type, location etc. Also detailed
information of router and switch ports with data on IP address / prefixes,
vlans, port speed and duplex etc.
* A threshold monitor that gives alarms based on high load / high error rates
or severe CPU load etc. Hysteresis is used as basis for the statefull threshold
monitor.
* A service monitor that reports on service outages. Support for the most
important services; ssh, http, imap, pop, smtp, smb, rpc, dns, dc. Can easily
be expanded to support more services.
* A module monitor that detects outage of switch or router components, i.e.
individual switches in a switch stack or modules in a chassis.
* A flexible alert system, where each NAV user can adjust his own profile with
fine-grained control options. Currently support for email and SMS, can easily
be expanded in the future. Profiles can be made to adjust the volume and types
of alarms wanted, typically as a function of time of day and week.
* And much more!
