Not sure if you're looking for something specific, but around 2000 or 2002 I
used the MRTG for Dummies documents for a kickstart.

This link *may* help http://www.netmon.org/dummies.htm

Also I seem to remember something called PRTG that did about the same thing
???

Thanks.
ASB had me set up nicely with MRTG and Perl on my servers but we have had a
refresh and I did not get the documentation into the server builders so I
have a mix of branch locations reporting MRTG stats on their switches and
some not.
I'll look at some NMS stuff.
Just like the free stuff I can quickly push out and have little expense to
the cost centers.
Thanks again.

David,
Are you looking to setup something and forget about it? If not, I can't
stress my own opinion harder than to say Perl is a dead, very ugly language.
I'd do something with Python personally but then again if you plan to do
something at any scale with more than just switches you might look at an NMS
solution.

I use Icinga at a few joints. There, I did my due diligence in attempting to
thwart the proliferation of Perl in lieu of uncountable better languages
that would serve your admin duties way better:)

Good luck,
jlc
