RE: [smartBridges] Monitoring network??

Title: Message

There is a program called Loriot (Shareware now, but I have the freeware version if anyone needs it) that is a network management software that can send emails and do all kinds of cool stuff. You really need to know your SNMP though to use it. I am working on a loging script now but it could still take some time to finish it. MRTG can be used in windows as a loger. simpleNMS can log stats but is limited to a fixed polling of 10-11 seconds and can eat up bandwidth. simpleNMS's data is saved to a text based log file that could be parsed and posted to a web page.   SMARTBRIDGES TECHS - Can we have an option to set the polling interval in simpleNMS? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Carter Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 4:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Monitoring network?? Ok I have changed everything over to smartbridge APP's. I used to have cisco 340 equiptment and had my mikrotik router setup with static routes to the radios and could check the logs remotely without any problems(turn the ip's on and off in the router when I wanted access). Well now I have a problem and I would think there had to be something better than having to learn mrtg and set all that up (probly take me forever) I could pay someone to do it but I still have another learning curve just to check the logs of my radios. Why does this have to be so complicated? The software smartbridges is nice but it does not let me see anything on my webserver(like a status webpage)  thru the net on dial-up. (dont laugh it isnt funny, I can not get my own service). I am wondering what all of you are doing to monitor your networks remotely. Am I the only one left that has not learned Linux....lol I had to pay someone to program my webserver and now it's looking like I have to pay them to make a monitoring system for my network because I have no logs to check. Someone should make an easy to install has everything your need to run it software solution for this??   Best Regards, Jerry
