We are just in the process of doing the same thing.   We had previously used 
Powercode for this, but had moved to Sonar hoping to improve some of these 
items.  Unfortunately, we are finding a number of drawbacks with Sonar and need 
to augment Sonar with other items.    We have stood up LibreNMS and believe 
this will give us the functionality we are looking for.   Specifically, we 
think we can get the bandwidth usage numbers polled and graphed properly as 
well as control some of the annoying notification issues we have in Sonar.   If 
you have some interest in talking more to see if the issues we faced are 
similar to what you are looking at, we can connect offlist.

The challenge with LibreNMS is that you’ll have to host it.   However, we are 
finding it to be pretty stable and customizable.    That is where we are seeing 
challenges with Sonar.   Sonar would also likely require you to move to their 
billing platform and so on.   It does a pretty good job of that.

Thanks,

David Coudron

Hey all,

We are looking into building/installing a better network toolset at our NOC so 
we can get a better handle on where our bottlenecks are. Currently, we use a 
hodgepodge of Cacti, Ping, and Smokeping to keep an eye on our network. It's 
ok, but having to look at multiple places to get an idea of what is happening 
is cumbersome at best.
What do you guys use to bring your networks health into one source/control 
panel/dashboard?

I am looking for:
bandwidth usage
ping times
frame utilization
customer counts
switch port logging

basically a really nice SNMP and more package that is robust.

Thanks!
Sam
