AKIPS monitoring tool for cisco devices

[rajulpar]

I am looking for AKIPS monitoring tool for cisco devices.

Given the requirements below I am concerned as to the load AKIPS may place on network devices.

Any idea on the load imposed by AKIPS ? Any Way to do impact assessment ? Any document ?

• 5000+ Cisco device 
• Every MIB Object 
• 60 second polling for every MIB Object and 15 sec for ICMP
• 60 second SNMP polling

We have AKiPS.  Never regretted it.

Hi Leo,

Thanks for your view on it.

Any impact assessment you did before you introduced or any load you can see on the network or any changes did you notice ?

Share any link or document you may have to go through.

Highly apricated

very little load;  you will love it; that being said the application that the developers came from - statseeker is great too.

@rajulpar, 

How is AKiPS doing? 

Since we've got AKiPS & DNAC, I cannot begin to tell you how many times AKiPS have saved our network from serious trouble.  I must've done more than 40 "proactive" maintenance actions before our Catalyst 9300/9500 would crash.

UPDATE: 

We have stopped using AKiPS after the new owners decided to price themselves out of contention by raising the prices on the sly:  The new owners handed us a quote for a renewal for the same price but changed the currency, from Australian dollar, to US dollar.  

We have approached StatSeeker for evaluation.
