It uniquely enables business and IT to adapt to changing needs through a flexible and rapid approach to IT and business deployment. Pandora FMS consolidates all the needs of modern monitoring (ITOM, APM, BAM) and provides status and performance metrics from different operating systems, cloud, virtual infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, XEN), Docker containers, applications, storage and hardware devices such as firewalls, proxies, databases, web servers or routers. It's highly scalable (up to 2000 nodes with one single server), 100% web and with multi-tenant capabilities. It has a very flexible ACL system and several different graphical reports and user-defined control screens.

OSSIM, AlienVault’s Open Source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product, provides event collection, normalization and correlation. For more advanced functionality, AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) builds on OSSIM with these additional capabilities: * Log management * Advanced threat detection with a continuously updated library of pre-built correlation rules * Actionable threat intelligence updates from AlienVault Labs Security Research Team * Rich analytics dashboards and data visualization

The Open IPMI project aims to develop an open code base to allow access to platform information using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

SNMP Trap Translator is used to 'translate' traps received from the NET-SNMP / UCD-SNMP snmptrapd trap daemon into easy to understand messages. Git repository, downloads and support has been moved to https://github.com/snmptt/snmptt.

NfSen is the web based front end for the nfdump netflow tools. See http://nfdump.sourceforge.net. Current stable release is 1.3.6

Netdisco is an SNMP-based L2/L3 network management tool designed for moderate to large networks. Routers and switches are polled to log IP and MAC addresses and map them to switch ports. Automatic L2 network topology discovery, display, and inventory.

SIGAR (System Information Gatherer and Reporter) is a cross-platform, cross-language library and command-line tool for accessing operating system and hardware level information in Java, Perl and .NET.

BASE is the Basic Analysis and Security Engine. It is based on the code from the Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) project. This application provides a web front-end to query and analyze the alerts coming from a SNORT IDS system.

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. Supports clusters up to 2000 nodes in size.

Webminstats is a Webmin's module which display a graphical log of historic information. It's modular in design, as to be able to log everything from CPU usage to email box size.

Two Packages: (1) Command line network monitoring tool that sniffs packets for a fixed time and then reports total byte and packet counts for each connection (ip/port pairs and protocol). (2) Web reports based on collected data from one.

LCDproc controls various LCD and VFD devices in a standardized way, and ships with a client to display various system statistics. Supports multiple platforms (Linux, *BSD, Solaris). Client/server model allows multiple clients to use one display.

NConf is a PHP based web-tool for configuring the Nagios monitoring software. It differs from similar tools by offering enterprise-class features like templates, dependencies and the ability to configure a large-scale, distributed Nagios topology.

FlowViewer provides a convenient web-based user interface to Mark Fullmer’s flow-tools suite and CMU's netflow data capture/analyzer, SiLK. The inclusion of the underlying SiLK tool set enables FlowViewer users to continue to use the tool with the newer IPFIX netflow data protocol, which includes support for IPv6 and Cisco's v9 and FNF netflow. FlowViewer has been developed for NASA’s Earth Sciences Data and Information System (ESDIS) networks, and credit goes to NASA for their usual outstanding support of innovation. The FlowViewer tools provide additional graphing and tracking features by utilizing open source software including Thomas Boutrell’s gd, Lincoln Stein's GD, Martien Verbruggen's GD::Graph, and Tobias Oetiker’s RRDtool. FlowViewer v4.6 fixes non-UTC local time environments for FlowViewer and FlowGrapher, and $no_devices_or_exporters FlowMonitor_Collector problem. **Note: SiLK must be v3.8.0 or later. Version 3.9 handles sFlow data.

Ddclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on 'Dynamic DNS Network Services' free DNS service. It currently supports a lot of different routers and a few different services. The project moved to github. See https://www.github.com/ddclient/ddclient for support.

Master/node to gather and graph "everything" on your systems using Tobi Oetiker's rrdtool. It can optionally warn your surveillance software. This software package was originally called LRRD. The project. Please see http://munin-monitoring.org/

The Network Tracking Database (NetDB for short) tracks all changes to the MAC address tables on your switches and the ARP tables on your routers over time stored in MySQL. It supports extensive switch, VLAN and vendor code reports from a CLI or Web App. NetDB can generate CSV reports, track the usage of static IP addresses, record neighbor discovery data and much more. There is now a VM "appliance" with easier upgrades available in the Files section. See the http://netdbtracking.sourceforge.net for more details.

Switchmap is a Perl program that creates HTML pages that show information about a set of Ethernet switches. It uses SNMP to gather data from the switches. Samples of Switchmap output can be found on the Project home page.

Cricket is a high performance, extremely flexible system for monitoring trends in time-series data. Cricket was expressly developed to help network managers visualize and understand the traffic on their networks, but it can be used all kinds of other job

Simple Event Correlator (SEC) is a lightweight event correlator for network management, log file monitoring, security management, fraud detection, and other tasks which involve event correlation.

WebInject is a tool for automated testing of web applications and web services. It can be used to test system components with HTTP interfaces, as a test harness to create a suite of functional and regression tests, or for service-level monitoring.

PerfMon is a simple but very usable performance monitoring tool for network elements like routers and switches. It's high performance polling enigne uses very little cpu processing and can handle multiple unreachable elements without locking up.

Autostatus is a network monitoring program for hosts and services. It is designed to be fast and extremely easy to use. It monitors by icmp pings and by attempting TCP connections to specified ports.
