New tool for all of you Junior Network Admins out there
« on: April 16, 2008, 05:42:19 AM »
I've had the opportunity to be a beta tester for a new company that is writing some great network management software:

Packet Trap

The software focuses around SNMP monitoring from SNP enabled devices and getting pc and server stats via WMI.

For example: you can monitor cpu, temp, free hdd space, and memory usage on a server or pc, look at your traffic stats if your home router has SNMP capabilities, check the status of your exchannge or sql server, as well as a lot of other custom gadgets.

Right now this is an actual app that you have to launch, but the next release will be run as a service and be web based.

The free trial last 30 days but they have a lot of free tools that don't expire.

I just thought I'd post this in case some of you might be interested  in playing with it.

The software has a phone-home feature.  You have to be completely registered in order for it to work.

The software sends data back to the company that wrote it.

I hope you're shaking your head at the spyware this program installs. Phone Home = Bad.

How often? Once is fine. More than that isn't acceptable. :D

As the software is still in beta mode, it validates your registration info and sends in your current version number.

But I feel super special as I have their Platinum support package.
