[mrtg] VitalNet vs. other frontends?

[Anson Rinesmith]

We've currently moving away from Castlerock SNMPc and MRTG and migrating to
zenoss. It's been nice so far, has nice graphing like MRTG, and better
alerting and clustering capability than Castlerock. Still in pre-stages, and
we are currently running all 3 in parallel, but so far we've been happy.

Subject: [mrtg] VitalNet vs. other frontends?

 

I have an installation of VitalNet that I've been "competing" with for 

the last few years, and I revisit this topic with management roughly 

once every 6-8 months.  

 

Does anyone have any pros or cons about VitalNet vs. any of the 

fairly popular front ends like:

 

Cacti

Routers

 

I only am concerned with trending and alerting to a master monitor.

We've got an entrenched installation of Netcool and we're working 

on replacing our aging Big Brother deployment, but I need to give 

some fresh information to keep VitalNet at bay, or just a 

incredibly strong argument to eliminate it from use.

 

Or, if there really is a compelling reason to use it vs. something like 

Cacti or Routers, I'd like to heard that as well.

 

Thanks,

Paul
