NagVis is a visualization addon for the well known network managment system Nagios. NagVis can be used to visualize Nagios Data, e.g. to display IT processes like a mail system or a network infrastructure. Key features are: * Display of single Hosts and Services * Visualize a complete Host- oder Servicegroup with one icon * Display the state of a Host dependent on the state of its services (“recognize services”) * Display only the real problems (“only_hard_states”) * Define Sub-Map icons wich represent a complete NagVis Map of Hosts/Services/Groups in one icon (drill down) * Visualization/Documentation of complete IT Processes and Infrastructures using self drawn graphics

Nagios is a powerful, modular network monitoring system that can be used to monitor many network services like smtp, http and dns on remote hosts. It also has support for snmp to allow you to check things like processor loads on routers and servers. I couldn't begin to cover all of the things that nagios can do in this article, so I'll just cover the basics to get you up and running.

Cela fait près d’un an et demi que j’utilise le logiciel Cacti pour monitorer l’activité réseau. Aussi bien dans le cadre de mon activité professionnelle que pour mon usage personnel. Mais j’ai récement découvert une alternative sérieuse : Munin. Celui-ci présente de nombreux avantages par rapport à Cacti et mérite d’être plus connue.

Munin the monitoring tool surveys all your computers and remembers what it saw. It presents all the information in graphs through a web interface. Its emphasis is on plug and play capabilities. After completing a installation a high number of monitoring plugins will be playing with no more effort. Using Munin you can easily monitor the performance of your computers, networks, SANs, applications, weather measurements and whatever comes to mind. It makes it easy to determine "what's different today" when a performance problem crops up. It makes it easy to see how you're doing capacity-wise on any resources.

Script PHP établissant une carte du réseau avec les informations de traffic

ctail is like running tail -f, but can be used on multiple files. It uses the Curses library to split the screen into as many windows as there are files to watch. The size of each file's window can optionally be specified on the command line. Regular expressions can be used to display only lines matching (or not matching) arbitrary criteria. Each file's window has a status bar, showing the file name, date and time of last change and current file size.

IPTables log analizer (TODO : find a nice name for it) displays Linux 2.4 iptables logs (rejected, acepted, masqueraded packets...) in a nice HTML page (it support rough netfilter logs but also Shorewall and Suse Firewall logs). This page shall be easy to read and understand to reduce the manual analysis time. This page containts statistics on packets and links to more detailled information on a given host, port, domain and so on.

Firewall Eyes est un outil d'analyse de logs en temps réel pour le pare-feu iptables. Grâce à une interface Web, vous visualisez et supervisez simplement et efficacement l'activité réseau traversant votre firewall. Vous détectez aisément les activités suspectes et ajustez votre politique de sécurité.

vpsinfo is a Linux server monitoring script, written in PHP, that provides web access to system status information. It gathers the output from several common Linux commands into one web page, providing a quick overview of the system's current state.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for managing networks. Each managed entity in the network will run an snmp server (snmpd) which is going to collect datas from the server such as networking, load, cpu ... Cacti on the other hand is a frontend to the RRDTool with SNMP support. It collects and keep data in a MySQL database and display them through a PHP web frontend.
