Network monitoring typically entails observing a network's bandwidth usage in order to identify choke points or to troubleshoot hardware or software issues. Nagios and MRTG are useful, Open Source monitoring tools that run with Linux and can be helpful to understand mixed-vendor networks where UNIX and Microsoft Windows both operate. Progent's system support experts can show you how to deploy both these products to optimize and troubleshoot your network.
Nagios Network Monitoring System
The Nagios monitoring application is a host/service monitor that operates with Linux. The Nagios daemon executes periodic inspections of servers and services you specify by means of external add-ons which bring back status information to Nagios. When issues are encountered, the Nagios can send alerts to support contacts in a variety of ways such as e-mail, instant messaging, or SMS. Up to date status data, archival records, and reports can be examined via a web browser.
Key features of Nagios include:
- Monitoring of network services such as SMTP, HTTP, SSH, and NNTP
- Tracking of host resources: CPU load, memory/disk utilization, running processes, etc.
- Ability to define host ranking, permitting differentiation between machines that are not running as opposed to ones that are unreachable
- Support personnel alerts via email, beeper, or other pre-specified means when service or machine issues occur or are fixed
- Ability to specify scripts to be executed during service or machine events for automated problem remediation
- Accommodation for deploying backup and dispersed network monitoring servers
- External command interface that allows on-the-fly modifications to be defined for the monitoring and notification behavior through the utilization of event scripts, the web interface, and third-party applications
- Preservation of host and service status after application restarts
- Planned offline periods for eliminating host and service notifications when there are deliberate outages
- Browser interface for examining existing network status, alert and anomaly history, event logs, etc.
- Permissions scheme that enables you to restrict what customers can see and modify via the browser interface
Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG)
MRTG is a free tool to monitor the traffic load on your network. Running under Microsoft Windows or Linux, MRTG reads the traffic counters of routers and produces web pages which provide an up-to-date intuitive representation of this traffic.
MRTG permits you to graph the bandwidth in and out of any SNMP network appliance. This can represent servers, routers, and switches. Administrators can utilize the resulting information to determine network trouble spots.
