Will Zenoss be able to show network traffic (in, out, and total)
for each monitored device?
Yes. If your monitored devices are running net-snmp this works
pretty much out-of-the-box.
Will this be able to be broken down by protocol (eg http, SMTP,
SMB, SQL) or port number?
No. Most snmp agents do not export this information. If yours does
you can set up a performance template that will capture the
information separately, and you can use that information to create
thresholds or graphs. Alternatively, if you can collect that
information over SSH we support that via Command plugins.
I see in the wikki there is talk of "Layer 2 mapping" (http://
dev.zenoss.org/trac/wiki/LayerTwoMapping). Is there any news on
when this will be implemented?
I'll defer that to somebody more knowledgeable than me. :)
I guess what I am hoping is something like MRTG
Also, will Zenoss be able to hook into switches somehow to show
network traffic for each switch port?
Yes, assuming the SNMP agent on the switch reports interface
statistics separately for each port. Most equipment does this...
We're running a Catalyst here that does it, and I just set up some
other Cisco equipment for a customer that exposes per-port interface
statistics.
Hope you enjoy the product!
