Observium is a PHP/MySQL-based network observation and monitoring system which supports a wide range of hardware platforms and operating systems including Cisco, Windows, Linux, HP, Juniper, Dell, FreeBSD, Brocade, Netscaler, NetApp and many more. It collects data from devices using SNMP which you can check via it’s web interface. Observium makes heavy use of the RRDtool package and has a number of simple core design goals such as minimum interaction, maximum automation and maximum accessibility of information.
