I've been tasked with setting up a "NOC" to monitor our colo network; probably just on my computer for now. We have a few devices that we need to monitor the best we can. I'd like the following if possible:
-Real time reporting.
-CPU utilization on each device.
-Bandwidth usage on particular ports, both TX and RX.
-VPN bandwidth usage on a per-VPN basis.
-Pretty graphs or charts would be nice so my co-workers are able to read them.
I've never done anything like this before, so any recommendations would be welcome. We're currently using these devices, but software that's device-agnostic would be great:
Cisco 1841
Cisco 871
SonicWALL 2040(enhanced OS)
SonicWALL NSA 2400(enhanced OS)
Dell 5448 switch
Cisco ESW-520-48-K9 switch
Always-on server-based software is welcome too, as I can easily provision a VM to handle it. Again, any recommendations are welcome. Please point me in the right direction!
