Pandora FMS is an enterprise-ready monitoring solution that provides unparalleled flexibility for IT to address both immediate and unforeseen operational issues, including infrastructure and IT processes. It uniquely enables business and IT to adapt to changing needs through a flexible and rapid approach to IT and business deployment. Pandora FMS consolidates all the needs of modern monitoring (ITOM, APM, BAM) and provides status and performance metrics from different operating systems, cloud, virtual infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, XEN), Docker containers, applications, storage and hardware devices such as firewalls, proxies, databases, web servers or routers. It's highly scalable (up to 2000 nodes with one single server), 100% web and with multi-tenant capabilities. It has a very flexible ACL system and several different graphical reports and user-defined control screens.

Network Security Toolkit (NST) is a bootable ISO image (Live USB Flash Drive) based on Fedora 42 providing easy access to best-of-breed Open Source Network Security Applications and should run on most x86_64 systems. The main intent of developing this toolkit was to provide the security professional and network administrator with a comprehensive set of Open Source Network Security Tools. The majority of tools published in the article: Top 125 Security Tools by INSECURE.ORG are available in the toolkit. An advanced Web User Interface (WUI) is provided for system/network administration, navigation, automation, network monitoring, host geolocation, network analysis and configuration of many network and security applications found within the NST distribution. In the virtual world, NST can be used as a network security analysis, validation and monitoring tool on enterprise virtual servers hosting virtual machines.

BASE is the Basic Analysis and Security Engine. It is based on the code from the Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) project. This application provides a web front-end to query and analyze the alerts coming from a SNORT IDS system.

The tool offers you end-to-end views of your storage environment including LAN and SAN and can save you significant money in operation monitoring and by predicting utilization bottlenecks in your virtualized environment. You can also generate policy-based alerts, view overall health status of your systems, reduce service downtime, use capacity and forecasting data - Real-time storage performance visibility in LAN and SAN multi-vendor environment - Historical reporting (graph, CSV, PDF) - Alerting based on performance thresholds - Storage event monitoring The tool supports enterprise class level storage devices from major storage vendors like: IBM, Dell EMC, NetAPP, HPE, Hitachi, Lenovo, Pure Storage, Huawei, Dot Hill, INFINIDAT, Fujitsu, DataCore, Quantum, QNAP, FalconStor,Ceph, Synology, RAIDIX, Qumulo,Inspur,Veritas Monitoring of the SAN supports Brocade, Qlogic and Cisco SAN switches Monitoring of the LAN network Try demo at http://demo.stor2rrd.com

MAG is a combination of Linux, XYMon and Cacti all together in a virtual appliance ready to use. All 3 are solid pieces of software but when joined together they make a great tool to manage your network infrastructure and end systems. The Squidworks MAG server is a CentOS 5.6 Linux distribution that has a customized XYmon Monitoring and Cacti Graphing servers installed, configured and ready to use. All the dirty work has been done for you. Browse the informative splash page, there you will find all you need to deploy monitors to Microsoft Windows and Linux networks. The “Just download a go” design will make deploying a enterprise class MAG server in your environment quick and easy. There is no need to spend your time building a solid XYMon system or a Cacti system when you can have them both with “Just a download and go”.

RJStats assists in network and host monitoring by creating many graphs of your servers using rrdtool. These graphs can be viewed using a web browser in any combination you would like to see them.

OpenESM project to promote software development of enterprise systems management. Focus areas are (Performance and Availability, Configuration Management, Data Warehousing, Reporting and Correlation).

A daemon that provides a method to track generic POP3 or IMAP logins and then email (in future:also block) the user if they exceed the number of accesses per given minutes allowed.

Pace-ICMP is a utility that can allow X amount of ICMP (ping, etc) packets travel to the host, once X is exceeded, all ICMP traffic is blocked. This allows ping and traceroute functionality, while still protecting you against ICMP attacks.
