Network Analysis Expertise
Network monitoring conventionally entails tracking a network's bandwidth usage in order to determine choke points or to troubleshoot hardware or application problems. Nagios and MRTG are useful, Open Source monitoring utilities that operate with Linux and can be used to monitor multi-vendor networks where UNIX and Microsoft Windows coexist. Progent's network integration experts can show you how to deploy both these tools to tune and repair your network.
Nagios Open Source Monitoring Application
The Nagios monitoring application is a host and service monitor that runs under Linux. The monitoring daemon executes intermittent inspections of hosts and services you specify by means of outside add-ons which bring back status data to Nagios. When issues are encountered, the daemon can send notifications to support contacts in a variety of ways such as email, instant messaging, or Short Message Service. Current status information, archival logs, and reports can be examined via a web browser.
Key features of the Nagios monitor include:
- Monitoring of network services such as SMTP, HTTP, FTP, and PING
- Tracking of host resources: CPU load, memory/disk utilization, log files, etc.
- Capability to specify network host ranking, allowing differentiation between machines that are down vs. ones that are unreachable
- Support personnel alerts via email, beeper, or other pre-defined means when service or host problems are detected or are resolved
- Option to specify event handlers to be run upon the detection of service or host events for proactive problem remediation
- Accommodation for deploying backup and distributed monitoring computers
- External command option that enables ad hoc modifications to be defined for the tracking and alerting activity through the utilization of event handlers, the web interface, and independent applications
- Preservation of host and service state across application restarts
- Planned downtime for eliminating host and service alerts when there are intentional outages
- Browser interface for viewing existing network state, alert and anomaly archive, event logs, etc.
- Authorization scheme that enables you to restrict what users can see and modify from the web applet
MRTG
MRTG is a free utility to track the bandwidth utilization on your network. Powered by Microsoft Windows or Linux, MRTG captures data from the traffic counters of network routers and produces web pages which offer an up-to-date visual representation of this data.
MRTG allows you to track the bandwidth in and out of any SNMP network appliance. This includes processors, routers, and switches. Administrators can utilize the resulting information to identify network trouble spots.
Data you are able to graph with MRTG include:
- Throughput in bits or bytes/sec
- Connection rate in connections per second
- Throughput through a specific Virtual server or real server
- Number of concurrent sessions
