- MacBookForMe, on 11/05/2009, -1/+8Right on time, dude...been screwed by those lousy web hosting providers just too many times...
- happytheclam, on 11/05/2009, -1/+8Great tools. Wish there was more stuff like this on Digg.
- jaygeeze, on 11/05/2009, -0/+6How about BC bud?
- Churnd, on 11/05/2009, -0/+5I'm surprised Snort isn't on that list.
- xero69, on 11/05/2009, -1/+5If you want to monitor almost everything on your network from a single interface might I recommend the free open source solution Spiceworks. Simple to setup and there's a whole community to consult if you run into problems or have feaure requests. www.spiceworks.com
- DNAspark99, on 11/05/2009, -0/+4erm, what? atleast 3 different tools based off basic rrdtool graphs, and no mention of splunk?
you can use splunk to universally parse all log files across all servers in one source and send specific alerts upon various filtered results. - phlegmer, on 11/05/2009, -0/+3How about MRTG?
- javaroast, on 11/05/2009, -1/+3As much as I appreciate an article on the topic of networking this article sucks. It really is a list of 10 with not much else. While we are at it the reason I'm using network monitoring tools is to avoid having my ass kicked with down time. My challenge to six revisions is to come up with actual content instead of lame pieces of digg bait. Don't expect to see it, but in these articles are the counter argument to all the content costs money claims.
- karaborsa, on 11/05/2009, -1/+3I'm amazed with how SixRevisions games Digg's voting system all the time. I'm bored of they are asking me for diggs on IM.
- korvins, on 11/05/2009, -1/+3Ok I will try to answer myself...
After Installing almost all of them it seems Munin is the one I prefer... It did not need any configuration, simply install and go to localhost/munin
There are also many plugins avalaible online that can monitor almost anything. So I think this is going to be my choose.
Cacti is too advanced.
Monit seems nice, but it takes some time to configure and setup properly. You have to do that through config files, so I am not going to use right now. - bradleyland, on 11/05/2009, -1/+2Add nTop to that list. It's not as big or full-featured as some of these, but you can set it up in about 15 minutes and see what's going over the wire on your network.
- linksus, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1Observer is FREAKING awesome!
- MvTCracker, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1Spice works www.spiceworks.com
- kjcdude, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1I don't know how that isn't on this list, it's probably the most popular free monitoring tool around.
- jeremiahjw, on 11/05/2009, -1/+2Great stuff!
- keyo, on 11/05/2009, -2/+1I always see munin spiking to 100% cpu (ubuntu hardy). Is this common on all monitoring tools which process stat logs?
- ethanrhod, on 11/24/2009, -1/+0nice blog.. visit mine too
http://www.juvelife.blogspot.com - korvins, on 11/05/2009, -3/+1Which one is simpler?
I have a server but I want to monitor the historic values of its CPU, IO and Memory usage in the simplest possible way.
No configuration at all if possible... Which is the best tool for that? - eljitto, on 11/05/2009, -17/+4I know people have been going around Digg saying how "Nickelback Sucks", but if you think about it, what else good has come from canada? I mean canadaian bacon DOES have bacon in it's name, but it technically is ham. So i can conclude Nickelback is the second best thing from canada, because everyhting else simply sucks,
