Re: [WISPA] Network Monitor

I used  the cacti/nagios combo for years, but in Feb I switched to OpenNMS.
It was tricky to get setup, and the folks on their IRC were invaluable!  Now
it auto scans multiple ip networks and ranges I specify every 4 hours and
sends me a txt msg each time I add customers.  For all the normal stuff it
runs every 5 minutes and produces graphs for not just ping but 'smoke ping',
http, dns, ssh, and other commonly discovered ports.  It also collects a
good bit of snmp data and graphs it.  The time invested and IRC questions
this last Feb are paying off in a sweet way now.  My system looks at a
couple hundred interfaces and a total of about a thousand ports/graphs for
the network.  Just My 2 cents worth.

Re: [WISPA] Sprint and Clearwire

WiMAX is for the birds as it exists today.  It's for POTS replacement and 
low bandwidth customers in third world countries, not the USA where we need 
to be providing bigger pipes.

Mobile WiMAX in anything but true licensed spectrum is for the birds as 
well.  Just not enough power to make it effective.

Re: [WISPA] Network Monitor

I'm having a hard time understanding why yawl just wouldn't use the 
Dude?  It's FREE, it emails me in the event of an anomaly, sends text 
msgs, monitors/graphs number of hotspot users, bandwidth, outages, 
traffic on my links, uptime, or just about anything else you want to 
look at, log, notify you of, login to, upgrade, or have your wife go 
fix;-) It even has a nice pretty web interface for your level 1 support 
crew (daughter or son) to look at. 

I'm interested in finding out what I would gain by running Nagios or 
Cacti?  From what I see on this thread, it would take both to do the job 
of just one Dude?

Re: [WISPA] Network Monitor

Hey John,

I didn't notice your company on the vendor member list?  Are you a 
vendor member or just plugging your company free on this list?  Maybe I 
just missed http://www.wirelessconnections.net when I did the search for 
the vendor members? Maybe it was my bad for missing it?

Thanx
Jim

So does nagios and cacti.  They are also open source so you can write any
plug-in you need including non-snmp device checks.  Cacti has tons of
premade templates that can be found all over the net. I use nagios to check
to see if linux boxes are up to date and a variety of other non-typical, non
snmp monitoring situations.  I also have the ability to provision the
information to the NMS systems from my billing system so I can setup all of
my information in one location and "push" it out to all of the other
systems.

Re: [WISPA] Network Monitor

The dude is cool, our network admin has been playing with it. We all 
have a copy on our machines we mess with too.

I like how it will show you real time bandwidth of a link. Lots of 
information there.

But it must take up a lot of resources to do this to a large 1000 node 
network.

We use Nagios and Cacti. Nagios even has a plug in for Firefox that sits 
on the bottom of the browser.

1. Very high gain 120 degree sector capable of handling several hundred
watts
2. High output radio (even just an RF noise generator would work)
3. Butter
4. Boots
5. Very fast get away vehicle

Adjust your high gain antenna to point at the corn fields. Crank the RF
generator up. Throw your boots on and start running toward your get away
vehicle, sprinkling butter and gathering as you go. Should take care of
the corn issue. Be sure to hide from the farmers for the next few weeks.

Re: [WISPA] Network Monitor

Jim-

Personally, I like Nagios because you can make it monitor literally 
-anything-.

In a previous life, we had it monitoring the server room door.  If it 
was open for more than ~5 minutes, it "nagged" us.

Then again, it all depends on how much you care.  For me, these days 
caring doesn't happen often so I'd probably use The Dude. ;-)
