I&#39;m trying to get a better handle on what&#39;s happening on my network at work.  I&#39;m currently using Nagios to monitor the big things (Server health, switch health, etc), but I&#39;d like more granular statistics (how much data is coming and going, are any links saturated, etc).  A quick glance shows that MRTG, Cricket, and RRD are good things to start playing with.  I&#39;m staring to play around with MRTG, but I&#39;m hearing rumors of scalability issues and I don&#39;t want to get deep into MRTG if I should be putting resources elsewhere.  <div>
<br></div><div>A quick sketch of the network is a few internet connections, our router, and a few switches for networking along with a few switches for VoIP as well as our PBX.  I don&#39;t want to monitor every port all the time, I instead want to monitor the uplinks of the switches to have a good idea, and look at the switch if something looks awry.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My question to the group is, what do you use / recommend, and do you have anything that sticks out in your head about any of these packages (good or bad)?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,<br>
