Network Monitoring Software?
I was tasked to find a piece of software that was able to monitor what the companies employees are doing and where our network bandwidth is going. To put it into a list: - Monitor Bandwidth usage Preferably by device or user - Monitor Websites visited - Monitor what a user is running on there computer Not as important as the first two Anyone use any software that preforms these functions and likes it? I am far from being a 15 year Network Administrator for a corp. that is running 180 blade servers so a little simplicity would be amazing too- There are numerous internet monitoring tools available. With 180 blade servers you are a fairly large organization and I suggest you select one which requires each user to log on with his own user name and p word for Internet access. This also records his Internet use and blocks forbidden sites. This step along with a message telling users what is going on, will stop a lot of internet abuse that is likely going on now. The best product is pretty hard for anyone to state; many reputible firms offer decent products and you really need to see what is there, what it costs, and what makes sense for your organization. You will easily recover the cost of such products and their continual subscription fees by avoiding Internet capacity upgrades and by the productivity each abuser has been wasting
- Hi, I recommend sax2, its real - time display and statistical traffic ysis of whole network; you may find network resource abuse, worms, denial of service attacks, to lead the network work well. visit Ids - sax2.com and download sax2 to help you
- What kind of router / firewall are you running on the perimeter of the network? Your firewall vendor may have a reporting module that you can use to find this information and perform ongoing monitoring. It will not tell you what the end users are running on their PC's, but there some packages out there that can. I do not have one to recommend. If you're looking for info on these servers only, you may install it on an intermediary firewall

- Hi, I worked for netopia, they had a software called netoctupus. you can see everything on the users machine. I was the product release. This software is good for some things but bad for other. You will need more then one software to accomplish what you are trying to do. If you are running cisco switches and want to know the IP address, Mac address and so one there is software called OpenManger. you can also purchase solarwinds tool set for engineers. That tool sets has allots of separate tools. syslog server, IP scan, port scan and so on. I personally do not like it. I think the same company have something called orion. that seem to be a better software. the best way to do it is. Use nagios for all your blade server. You need to run it on a unix box. It is completely free. you can monitor cpu load, up or down, specific service and so on. This software has allots of ad ons for free. you can monitor clusters and exchange servers if you want. It will send email notifications and also it also have GUI interface for you to acknolige alarms and add notes and so on. it will keep track of everything good loging. for individual users you can Use ISA server. Each user will go through the ISA server before going out to the net. you can monitor all http traffic. If you want to priortize traffic, you can purchase a add on for the ISA server. "3rd party software" that will allow you to break down your bandwith per IP or user base. If you are running Cisco equipment, you can enable Netflow on your routers. this will capture every traffic comming in and out of any port and stores it in a ghrpahical view. You can email me if you are intrested in nagios, ISA or any other software
- Look into Microsoft ISA Server
