  4. Then RMF/SMF (raw data) Share tapes, CMG (utilities to interpret RMF/SMF) Assembler, PL/1, and (*cough*) COBOL SAS (database, analytics, programming and graphing) MXG (performance data store and rudimentary reporting) MICS (performance data store and extensive management reporting/graphing) Now SNMP (raw data) Open source, free (as in speech) software Perl, Java, XML PostgreSQL, MySQL MRTG, RRDTool NMS solutions ? Performance Management

  5. Various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol • An extensible agent and a notification receiver • An SNMP library • Tools to request or set information from SNMP agents • Tools to generate and handle SNMP traps • A slew of SNMP related perl modules • A version of the unix 'netstat', and 'df' commands using SNMP • A Tk/Perl mib browser

  6. The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic load on network links. MRTG generates HTML pages containing PNG images which provide a LIVE visual representation of this traffic.

  7. RRD (Round Robin Database) is a system to store and display time-series data (i.e. network bandwidth, machine-room temperature, server load average)

  8. What’s Missing • Integration • Integration • Integration

  9. Typical NMS

  10. An Open NMS • OpenNMS is an open-source project dedicated to the creation of an enterprise grade network management platform. • OpenNMS exploits other open source (and open standards) components • Linux (various distributions) • PostgreSQL (database management system) • Apache Tomcat (Java app server) • XML (document/content/formatting) • Net-SNMP (data collection/capture) • RRD (data storage, graphing)
