Network Monitoring for IT Pros

NetXMS is an open source, multi-platform network monitoring and management system that provides comprehensive event management, performance monitoring, alerting, reporting, and graphing. It collects information from monitoring agents (either its own high-performance agents or SNMP agents) and delivers it to a monitoring server for processing and storage. Network administrators can then access the collected data through a rich client application or web interface.
