I’m curious to hear what kind of network monitoring software is out there that I can use for free. Do you have a favoritve package that you really like? Let me know what’s popular and useful to you!
What exactly are you looking to do? One package may solve your requirements, while others may not.
I personally was never able to find a single freeware package that filled all of my needs, but a programs called SolarWinds (which my company paid for) filled most of them. (the important ones).
Are you looking for reporting? Simple up/down ping responses? Detailed usage via SNMP?
I’m basically looking for a performance monitor. I’d like to see, for instance, why the internet is slow on a particular day. I know its someone downloading or streaming movies/music I just can’t easily tell who and what it is. I’ll check out the tips above, thanks guys!
