This plugin was written for DartWare’s InterMapper as a probe pack for it’s Free 5 Server Cloud Monitoring solution. We decided to write this plugin in a nagios compatible mode because nagios is basically the defacto standard in monitoring return code. This article describes the process used to write a nagios compatible plugin that gathers data from the Amazon CloudWatch API. Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a Comment »Īmazon Web Services released it’s CloudWatch API and many people are using it to gather metrics/information about their servers. So, we feel like we’ve always been partners with Cisco. InterMapper Flows retains every bit of highly granular NetFlows data for long periods of time (how long depends on the database capacity you assign) so that you can continue to conduct any queries you need for post-hoc network forensics or network utilization trend analysis. InterMapper Flows collects NetFlow (1, 5, and 7) data in one second increments – you know exactly when specific network activities took place. Our engineers and customers have created a long list of Cisco probes (link to Cisco page) that provide device-specific information along with critical performance metrics including CPU utilization, temperature, traffic error statistics, wireless access points, connection parameters and more.Ī few years ago, we added palette of Cisco specific icons to InterMapper so that network maps can depict devices in a way that immediately recognizable.Īnd most recently, we’ve integrated NetFlow analysis with network monitoring and mapping by with InterMapper Flows. This System DE presentation (link to System DE PPT in documentation section) does a great job explaining how InterMapper adds critical network monitoring capabilities to CiscoWorks. Those partners have done a great job explaining how InterMapper keeps watch over Cisco networks and interacts with CiscoWorks. We’ve formed partnerships with Cisco specialists around the world including Boardwalk Communications, Systems DE, and ConnecTIC.

It was analogous to getting married after living together for 10 years that’s how long InterMapper has been monitoring Cisco networks. Posted in Monitoring the Cloud, Traffic Flow analysis, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment »ĭartware became an official Cisco Registered Partner in October 2009. The whole transaction – noting the host, shutting it down, informing the authorities – took minutes and saved a budget justification for more bandwidth. In no time he had blocked the site and alerted someone to take care of the end-user. He was able to see that someone was interacting with a hacking site which was NOT on the list of appropriate network uses. At a consultant’s recommendation he installed an InterMapper Flows evaluation and, at 10:00 am the next day, watched. At 10:40 am traffic would plummet to its usual level. A new user recently told us that he’d noticed a real spike in network traffic – it would zoom up to 98% – at 10:00 am every day. It watches over network behavior and provides very specific evidence of behavior that needs to be checked into. InterMapper Flows is, in effect, a good babysitter. On the other hand, if you’re the person who’s going to take it on the chin for needing to add bandwidth AGAIN, you’d better know you’re doing it for a good reason. It can be icky work finding the guy who is downloading large files that shouldn’t be downloaded, identifying the fan of a hacker site, getting some telemetry on someone’s taste in film. It also means that blocking inappropriate network behavior is falling to the network team. That means that understanding user behavior is just as important as understanding device behavior.

Now that networks are the operational foundation for most organizations, not to mention a very significant overhead cost, keeping them running and focused on the job at hand is critical. Not many people become network managers because they like to babysit end-users, or maybe even think about them a lot.
