Hi All, |
2 |
|
3 |
Just want to see if anyone has any good info to share. |
4 |
|
5 |
What I want: (not necessary host availability/polling) |
6 |
|
7 |
Network monitoring/network traffic analyser which is something like ntop |
8 |
which shows IP traffic in (from where) and out (to where) as well as top |
9 |
talkers, top ports etc. This is basically to determine whats happening |
10 |
with my network and who's been hogging the bandwidth etc. (time for some |
11 |
wrist slapping!!) |
12 |
|
13 |
And preferably it logs into a Mysql/Postgressql database which can be |
14 |
later dissected for analysis. |
15 |
|
16 |
I've looked at opennms - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51441 |
17 |
which seems to be able to do it. |
18 |
|
19 |
I've also looked at jffnms, (which used to be in portage? searched |
20 |
through the archives and it seems it was previously) but it seems to |
21 |
only be able to look at host/server availability. |
22 |
|
23 |
Looked at argus, it seems to have the features for Traffic Flow Analysis |
24 |
but it does not support (AFAICT) for logging into a DB.(The FAQ states |
25 |
answer is coming) |
26 |
|
27 |
Zabbix is another package but seems like it too provides for |
28 |
client/server availability etc. Doesn't do much for my needs. |
29 |
|
30 |
I initially looked at ntop, then found out that it no longer uses a SQL |
31 |
database for it's backend data collection, it now uses rrdtool. I've got |
32 |
some stupid question, I understand that RRDtool is a good thing since |
33 |
it's like a never growing DB, but frankly, just how many days/years of |
34 |
data can it hold? What's the limit etc? I don't seem to be able to |
35 |
locate a FAQ about that one particular point. |
36 |
|
37 |
Appreciate some comments. |
