InterMapper 4.1.1

InterMapper's active maps give a visual, real-time view of traffic flows through and between critical network devices and links. It also queries your servers to let you know when you have problems even before your customers call. It uses SNMP to provide utilization statistics to help you optimize performance, as well displaying traffic, error, and outage information so you can be aware of trouble spots. You can write your own TCP or SNMP-based probes, or use plugins/scripts from the NagiosB or Big Brother programs to perform tests that aren't part of the base InterMapper package. It can show the processor, memory and disk utilization for any server or workstation that supports the Host Resources MIB. InterMapper also provides a historical view of various data. You can create strip charts to show how different traffic, utilization or error rates have changed over time. It can also invoke programs from the command line to respond to outages or problems as well as making sounds, or sending e-mails and pages.
