Network Monitoring solution?

[Saulbadguy]

I'm looking for a network/application monitoring tool that I can deploy "agents" on different network segments in our campus to alert me of problems.

For instance, we have Solar Winds that monitors our key infrastructure components, but it is installed in our Core - so if one of our access layer areas has a problem accessing a specific application (based on a firewall misconfiguration, or something else), i'd never know about it.

So what i'm looking for is a tool similar to Solar Winds that I can deploy agents on different network segments that can monitor via ICMP, SNMP, and synthetic tests at the application layer (for instance, simulating a MAPI connection to an Exchange server). I'd like a centralized view of all of the agents rather than having to manage them each individually.

PageR Enterprise - awesome, scalable, simply awesome

I use this: https://www.paessler.com/prtg

It works awesome, and it is free for up to 100 sensors. Beyond that, it is a paid app.

Example of it working on my home network:

How can I get live download bandwidth for every ip in the network,can you explain it??I cannot understand the program??

FYI, Solarwinds will do a lot of that if you're using Orion. In addition to basic hardware up/down, we do SNMP and WMI monitoring for important applications like Citrix, Exchange, and SQL.

If you setup all the computers on the network with WMI access you can. But devices that don't support it won't be monitored down to that level. If you want to monitor network traffic for all devices, you should be using something installed on the main router for the network, like pfSense, Untangle, monowall, etc.
