Challenge is that you'll have to host it? Having precise monitoring of your 
network is only possible on your network.

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,

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
