Free, open network monitors come to a network near you
Network monitoring tools, both commercial & open source, have come a long way in the last few years.
One of the most exciting recent developments in the open source arena has been the emergence of commercial operators in the open source space.
Why Do I Need Network Monitoring?
In many cases, especially in smaller organisations, there isn't a significant cost to downtime. In others, like financial organisations, huge costs are associated with even a short period of downtime.
Plainly, the amount of pain associated with downtime will help you in deciding what level of network monitoring is right for you.
