Here is a list of some of the networking traffic monitoring tools that I found on another site.

Netmon

Netmon is a comprehensive network monitoring system which gives you a complete perspective of your network from a variety of vantage points.

Imagine adding a thousand pairs of eyes to your network, each working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to monitor critical operational metrics:

* Network Traffic and Activity Monitoring
* Protocol Activity Monitoring
* Bandwidth Monitoring
* Device Monitoring and Management (SNMP)
* Service Monitoring
* Disk and Volume Monitoring
* Syslog and Event Log Monitoring
* Security Monitoring
* Performance Monitoring and Reporting
* Cisco Netflow Analysis and Reporting
* Email and Pager Notification / Alerts

Activeworx Security Center

Activeworx Security Center is a cost-effective security information management system that provides real-time security device log monitoring with alerts, audit and compliance reports, and tools for advanced, in-depth forensic analysis. Activeworx consolidates and manages alerts from multiple vendors and security devices.

Activeworx reduces the time it takes to analyze event data from multiple sources and produces real-time reports that pinpoint network security breaches and vulnerabilities. These in-depth reports provide the details necessary for regulatory compliance reporting for Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

There are events that are being triggered from many different security devices on your network. Each of these events has its own key points of interest. Instead of removing the details, Activeworx acts as an event tracker and preserves these key points to enable you to take advantage of all the information within each event. It does this by allowing you to have multiple database types, including events from:

* Intrusion Detection Systems, including Snort
* Syslog Events
* Firewall Events
* Vulnerability Scans
* TCPDump Packets
* Keystroke Loggers

Cuevision Server Monitor

Cuevision server monitor is an agentless monitoring system that excels in providing network and system administrators with critical information about the performance and status of servers, web sites and applications.

Monitoring

There are many built-in monitors for Windows servers, websites and network devices.
The Windows Event Log monitor which can monitor event logs and look for specific message text, event id’s and more.
The VBScript monitor allows you to use your own scripts to monitor anything in your environment. By plugging your scripts into Cuevision Server Monitor you gain the flexibility of being able to set alerts and create recovery actions based on events that your scripts are monitoring.
The ping monitor can check if devices in the network are responding.
The HTTP monitor can download web pages and monitor the text on the page, the download time of the page whether the page is responding or not.
Other monitors include the Windows service monitor, application monitor, process monitor and performance monitor. The performance monitor is available for monitoring critical Windows performance data such as CPU, disk space, memory and processes as well as ASP pages.
All data gathered through different monitors can be used to build reports.

Alerting

A system administrator is always on the go, that’s why alerting is important. Cuevision Server Monitor can send alerts to the Windows Event Log, log files, popup messages to machines on the network, or email messages with customized information that can tell you about the alarm that triggered the alert and actions that were executed as a result.

Reporting

Rich performance reporting is available for all monitors in real-time or historically. Multiple monitors can be graphed side by side for comparing trends over time.

Convenience

Adding monitors is made simple by using the discovery module. Simply enter a range of IP addresses and the application will find available devices on the network. Once the devices are identified, creating monitors for them is as easy as clicking a few buttons. A map windows allows you to see the monitors the way you want. You can load a background map that depicts your server room or physical location around the country and arrange the icons for a clearer view of the monitors. Cuevision Server Monitor runs as a service and does not require you to deploy agents to monitored systems, it monitors them remotely.

Distinct Network Monitor

Distinct Network Monitor translates complex protocol negotiation into natural language, pinpointing where errors occurred. Not only is it easier to use than any other competing products, but it also translates the packet negotiation into natural language, something no other network protocol analyzer does.

Distinct Network Monitor also captures several network traffic statistics for the network segment being monitored and provides a graphical representation of the statistics gathered. This feature may be used together with packet sniffing or on its own. When used on its own, the statistics can potentially span most of the network if Distinct Agents are installed on one system per subnet or switch.

Feature Summary: Captures network traffic and interprets it in plain English. Gives an intelligent interpretation of what actually happened on the network. Imports packet trace files taken with other networks analyzers and views them in Distinct’s plain English format. Supports high speed and wireless networks. Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and wireless TCP/IP adapters and 4/16 Token Ring cards. Works over serial line with a PPP connection. It allows you to filter at any level. You may filter the capture itself to avoid the collection of unnecessary packets and reduce the size of your capture. You may also filter a captured file and save the packets filtered to a new, smaller, more manageable file. Has a Remote IP Sniffing capability through its Agents. Gathers statistics related to the traffic seen by the system it is running on. It includes the ability to produce statistical reports in HTML format. Exports the network packet trace. This allows you to make use of the data gathered right in your application. Packet header information may be exported in a comma separated format (CSV) for use with Excel or imported into a database. Supports a wide range of protocols. It includes parsers for the most important protocols of the Internet including IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP, FTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, H323, SIP, etc.

OpManager

OpManager is a comprehensive, affordable solution for monitoring the performance of a network. With growing network complexities, the system administrators are more than challenged when it comes to assuring a healthy network. OpManager ensures the availability of a network and its resources and reports when the going is tough.

Proactive Monitoring

OpManager provides out-of-the-box support for monitoring critical resources on servers, routers, switches, firewalls, domain controllers et all.. Besides the device availability, the other resources monitored include host resources like cpu, disk, and memory utilization, traffic utilization, availability of critical services, important windows event logs etc.
Performance data is collected for all the resources periodically to determine their availability and that of the network health as a whole. Pro-active monitoring by way of configuring meaningful thresholds, helps avoid ‘unpleasant surprises’.
Monitoring performance is done using standard protocols like SNMP, CLI, and WMI. So, it is not mandatory for your servers to be SNMP-enabled for performance monitoring. OpManager can monitor the linux and solaris environments using CLI and windows environment using WMI in the absence of SNMP.

Custom Monitoring Capability

Besides the resources monitored out-of-the-box, you can configure custom monitors for the SNMP variables. This facilitates monitoring of performance for almost any device that is pingable and has SNMP enabled!

Scheduled Reporting

Periodic reporting of the network health is an added advantange. OpManager allows you to schedule reports periodically at the chosen day and time. The reports are automatically emailed to the pre-configured email Ids or published to a URL.
With OpManager to monitor the network round the clock, you can sit back and relax, and feel assured that you will be the first one to know of an imminent fault.
