Comparison of network monitoring systems
Encyclopedia
This is a comparison of some notable network monitoring systems.
IP SLAs Reports : Feature reports on IP SLAs
Logical Grouping : Support arranging the hosts or devices it monitors into user-defined groups
Trending : Provide trending of network data over time
Trend Prediction : The software feature algorithms designed to predict future network statistics
Auto Discovery : The software automatically discover hosts or network devices it is connected to
Agent : The product rely on a software agent that must run on hosts it is monitoring, so that data can be pushed back to a central server. "Supported" means that an agent may be used, but is not mandatory. An SNMP
daemon does not count as an agent.
SNMP : Able to retrieve and report on SNMP statistics
Syslog : Able to receive and report on Syslog
s
Plugins : Architecture of the software based on a number of 'plugins' that provide additional functionality
Triggers/Alerts : Capable of detecting threshold violations in network data, and alerting the administrator in some form.
WebApp : Runs as a web-based application
Distributed Monitoring : Able to leverage more than one server to distribute the load of network monitoring.
Inventory : Keeps a record of hardware and/or software inventory for the hosts and devices it monitors
Data Storage Method : Main method used to store the network data it monitors.
License : License released under (e.g. GPL, BSD license, etc.)
Maps : Features graphical network maps that represent the hosts and devices it monitors, and the links between them.
Access Control
: Features user-level security, allowing an administrator to prevent access to certain parts of the product on a per-user or per-role basis
IPv6 : Supports monitoring IPv6
hosts and/or devices, receiving IPv6 data, and running on an IPv6-enabled server. Supports communication using IPv6 to the SNMP agent via an IPv6 address.
