We have used HP Openview Network Node Manager, Openview Performance Insight, What's Up, and the older Sun Net Manager. So we are far from cheap.
The best solution we have found so far? Product called SysOrb. http://www.evalesco.com/ . The price is unbeatable for the feature set.
And it blows What's Up (Crap) Professional out of the water.
You can use SNMP queries on devices, install Agents on servers to be monitored, and even run simple Netchecks like seeing if there is an httpd responding on port 80, or even monitor for text in html.. on and on.
Well how would you feel if you spent all your money to fund a project? And then, when you lost your normal full-time job, and decided to make a business out of what had been your hobby, how would you go about doing it?
I see nothing wrong with the way they play their cards, and I do not blame Richard Morrell for his anger at times.
Any moron who doesn't do research before doing a review needs a kick in the a**. Any faults pointed out by the reviewer are not the smoothwall teams fault.
Any real Linux user would know the facts. All it does is make this guy out to be a moron.
I have used both GxSnmp (http://www.gxsnmp.org) and Computer Associates Unicentre TNG (http://www.cai.com) Framework on Linux for Monitoring client networks.
Unicentre is much easier to setup then GXSNMP, but either one is good.
I also added on to them a package called Telalert to do paging etc, when nodes go down. (http://www.telamon.com)
Is it just me, or is/. becoming a place where intelligent conversation is becoming a long forgotten ritual? It seems everyone now is just putting in "First Post" or a bunch of worthless garbage.
