Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring
solution.
Zabbix is software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and
the health and integrity of servers. Zabbix uses a flexible
notification mechanism that allows users to configure e-mail based
alerts for virtually any event. This allows a fast reaction to server
problems. Zabbix offers excellent reporting and data visualisation
features based on the stored data. This makes Zabbix ideal for
capacity planning.
Cacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool, it stores all of the necessary
information to create graphs and populate them with data in a MySQL database.
The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able to maintain
Graphs, Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a database, cacti handles
the data gathering. There is also SNMP support for those used to creating
traffic graphs with MRTG.
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.
RAToolSet is a suite of policy analysis tools. It is implemented in C++ on a
UNIX platform. It has been ported successfully to many platforms including
Sun Sparc stations running SunOS 4.1.3 or Solaris, FreeBSD, DEC Alphas
running OSF/1, and BSDI. It contains the following programs:
rtconfig routing policy analyzer and router configuration tool
peval a low-level policy evaluation tool
rpslcheck syntax checks the aut-num policy for an AS
Argus is a generic IP network transaction auditing tool that has been used
by thousands of sites to perform a number of powerful network management
tasks that are currently not possible using commercial network management
tools.
Argus runs as an application level daemon, promiscuously reading network
datagrams from a specified interface, and generates network traffic audit
records for the network activity that it encounters. It is the way that
Argus categorizes and reports on network activity that makes this tool
unique and powerful.

Arping is a util to find out if a specific IP address on the LAN is 'taken'
and what MAC address owns it. Sure, you *could* just use 'ping' to find out if
it's taken and even if the computer blocks ping (and everything else) you still
get an entry in your arp cache. But what if you aren't on a routable net? Then
you're screwed. Or you use arping.
