I expect I can get a 42" display for this. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might use software wise to display some "cool" looking graphs. It's a large datacenter i.e. several Cisco 6500 series router/switches.
I have full access to all the switches and routers as well, so doing a span or monitoring via SNMP is not a problem.
My first thought was having a diagram of our WAN network, with Sniffer up and running showing the traffic going through to one of our sites in Japan, England and another site in the US. As well as maybe a Ciscoview window up showing traffic meters going through our core.
Most of our corporate tools are really boring. They actually accomplish something instead of let management feel they have control by being able to look at a flashy web page with pretty graphs. Now we need the graphs.
I was thinking of something with MRTG, but that generally looks boring in its generic form. Also I dont think it works like a moving gauge so it wouldent be very interesting..
Any suggestions?
