Hi folks, infraMon ( http://www.inframon.org ) has arrived as a shareware package. It provides for many NMS-like features in a modular setting with a focus on network infrastructure management. Most notable for this list is that it builds topology maps which can be a slick front-end navigator to 14all/mrtg data (as well as a great topology reference). Here are a few features:
- Dynamically build network topology maps from a device list (light weight snmp for link info) - Map line colors are based on link speed, utilization, or ping response (from mrtg exports) - Map lines and devices are hot links to 14all/mrtg data and other functions - Pre-builds mrtg configs to include utilization, ifErrors, ifDiscards, Fecns/Becns - Capable of DISTRIBUTED response monitoring (remote site to site) - Preconfigured mrtg thresholds producing alarms - Generic web based alarm monitor - Device and link status poller with notification - Web based Cisco CLI query tools The components are modular. For example, running of the status poller is not required to produce mrtg config's and map navigation. Currently I would like for seasoned network managers (as early adopters) to give the package a try if interested. It involves a compile of gd and several perl modules (along with mrtg and rrdtool) and it is *nix based only. There is also a forum set up for discussions/questions at http://www.micro-mess.com/forum/ (you'll need to register). So visit http://www.inframon.org to get an overview and screenshots and let me know what you think!
