Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps
watch over networks and any conceivable network resource, notifies the user
of errors and recoveries and generates performance data for reporting.
Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor complex, large environments
across dispersed locations.
Icinga is a fork of Nagios and is backward compatible. That said, Nagios
configurations, plugins, and addons can all be used with Icinga. Though
Icinga retains all the existing features of its predecessor, it builds on
them to add many long awaited patches and features requested by the user
community.
This is the meta port for Icinga 1.x including net-mgmt/icinga-core and
net-mgmt/icinga-classicweb.
Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network
problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. The monitoring
daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify
using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios.
When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out
to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email,
instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical
logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.
Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion
detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports
raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g
traffic.
Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets. In addition
to standard networks, it can detect (and given time, decloak) hidden
networks, and infer the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.
Capture sources that are known to be supported: Atheros, Prism2, WSP100,
Drone, wtapfile, pcapfile. Kismet also supports radiotap headers and
should work with current FreeBSD systems.
LibreNMS is an autodiscovering PHP/MySQL/SNMP based network monitoring
which includes support for a wide range of network hardware and
operating systems including Cisco, Linux, FreeBSD, Juniper, Brocade,
Foundry, HP and many more.
LibreNMS has grown out of a lack of easy to configure network
monitoring platforms. It is intended to provide a more navigable
interface to the health and performance of your network. Its design
goals include collecting as much historical data about devices as
possible, being completely autodiscovered with little or no manual
intervention, and having a very intuitive interface.
NeDi is a lightweight network management framework, which is based on a
scheduled discovery, an SQL backend, and a web-based user interface. It
sucks information through SNMP or CLI from your switches and routers and
stores information (such as MACs and IPs) in a MySQL database.
Later, you can use its web interface to easily locate nodes withing your
network.
Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network
problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. The monitoring
daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify
using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios.
When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out
to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email,
instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical
logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.
NagiosQL is a web based administration tool for Nagios.
It helps you to easily build a complex configuration with all options,
manage and use them. NagiosQL is based on a webserver with PHP, MySQL and
file access to the Nagios configuration files.
Netmagis is a network management information system,
which allows a network administrator to:
- manage data for your BIND DNS and ISC DHCPD server,
- delegate DNS management,
- automatically generate network maps,
- assign VLAN to equipment interfaces via a Web interface,
- generate traffic graphs.
Nitpicker is a free IP flow accounter. It started because the commercial
accounting software was just not fast, precise and reliable enough to fit
today's ISP/MSP requirements.
Here are some of the large benefits of nitpicker:
- 100% free, in public domain
- Designed for speed
- Designed to run reliably under djb's daemontools
- Consumes minimal processor power
- Runs within little memory
- Does not banally summarize the traffic
- Stores all relevant traffic data for comprehensible interaction
