Need software for net statistics monitoring...

[Alexander Demin]

Hello!

Now I'm using MRTG for monitoring network statistics.

Unfortunately, it seems to be not flexible and convenient for use.

For example, the arrangement and output of the graphics on the webpage need making changes in configuration files and html.

I'm looking for, perhaps, more comfortable interface for working with rrdtool, that should provide features like:

- restricted web-access (mrtg has)

- web-based gui for configuring mrtg config file and for stat points.

- quick search of graphics stats by name/lable, box(router/switch), interface

- ability to arrange two or more graphs (daily,weekly,monthly etc.) of different stat points on one page for comparing.

What software can you suggest (free or commercial) for this ?

Thanks,

wbr, Alex.

Dont know how much effective would this be as per your requirements, but CNA (Cisco Network Assistant) worths a mention as well.

It provides a centralized network view and allows network administrators to employ its features across Cisco switches, routers, and access points. Cisco Network Assistant is available at no cost and can be downloaded from the Cisco Network Assistant Software Download.

Processing with download now...

Meanwhile, could you tell me: does LMS has interface monitoring feature like Cisco Monitor Manager(Director) ?
