Network Monitoring Tool

[Maxime Alarie]

Hi,

 

I have a Linux VM,  on a Windows 2003 domain. I would like to know what
tool would  a Linux networking expert suggest if I want to run a Network
monitoring  tool.

 

I would like to be able to know:

 

*         If a computer spams the network, which one does it?

*         Network traffic on my gateway

*         Network traffic on my switches

*         Network Traffic on my servers.

*         And possibly the status of my servers..

 

 

 

I tried Nagios, I am not very familiar with it, I was a little bit lost
with all the installable modules, but  some rtfm should do the job.. I
like it a lot  but you have to install a client on windows machines and
reboot them..  I cant reboot any servers.

 

I just installed bandwidthd, it does not really  do the job.. I see some
traffic from machines, but none from servers.

 

Thanks for your suggestions.
