I think it's the network engineers toolkit, we got it 995 US$, last time I checked this was $1350 methinks, but as you have probably seem you get a lot more than just band width monitoring, so I guess it depends on if you can benefit from all of the other bits that are in there. I think it comes with about 43 separate tools anyways, but might be worth checking with them to see if you can get the bandwidth/snmp components separately.

Some of there stuff is more affordable than others, and in this instance, where we are just wanting to prove the amount of bandwidth being used, I'm not sure there is the budget for anything other than...errr....very little. Olly From: Clayton Doige [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 August 2008 09:36 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: [OT] SNMP, Watchguard and MRTG Have used solar winds very successfully for this exact purpose. We get real time stats of in and outbound on gauges in the Solar Winds package, all we needed to do was get the SNMP Communities set up. We went very cryptic on community names for obvious reasons. We have the Fireware pro package installed so we have three ISP connections, a DMZ and a private interface on the box, and we monitor usage for all 5 ports. 2008/8/13 Oliver Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does anyone have any experience of monitoring the bandwidth usage of a watchguard unit via something like MRTG or similar ? I want to know the bandwidth usage at a few of our sites so that we can upgrade the lines. They are serviced office units which inevitable means that no one knows whats going on and the management company don't keep bandwidth usage stats, so it's up to us to sell ourselves an upgrade. I've had a look around but there's nothing on the web that I can see that might help. The units are X55e ones, nothing fancy.
