[CentOS] Monitoring Dynamic IPs using Some network monitoring tool
Greetings, I have one centos server for network monitoring. there are remote devices which are connected through ADSL lines and hence Dynamic IPs Q1. Is there any tool which is capable of handling this type of situation? Q2. Is there a workaround for this problem Regards Rajagopal

Most snmp monitoring tools will be confused by frequently changing IPs anyway, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

For example, we use Nagios to monitor our systems. With Nagios, you could use passive checks. This is where the programs that monitor your server run locally on the server and submit results to the central monitoring server. The central Nagios server can alert based on the results it receives or based on the fact that it hasn't received results for a period of time. -- Jake Paulus JakePaulus at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[CentOS] Monitoring Dynamic IPs using Some network monitoring tool
Greetings,> > Perhaps ntop? >Gosh! answer for a person handling hundreds of servers and PB of data!!! I am blessed indeed. :) Yes I am right now trying to get my claws into it just few minutes back I yum-med it in to my system. saw some graphs... The key issue here is dynamic IP addresses Initial requirements are just to show whether the ADSL is up and the avereage transfer /hour /day etc. and some minor details inside. Thanks and regards Rajagopal
