Morning Mark.


I've found SNMP to be the best underlying protocol for monitoring of
this sort, then combine that with another tool, along the lines of MRTG
or Cricket (both based on the same routes).

The above would give you good historic data graph's for capacity
planning and trend monitoring.

There are other applications that you could use for instant response,
but off the top of my head I can't remember what that is called, and
there may be better solutions now (I was thinking of a TK based
application).
