Network Traffic Monitor - What the best?

[kamzata]

I'ld like install a network monitor for proxmox and CTs. I'ld like use a dedicated CT for it and it would be nice if was web based.

What do you suggest?

Hello,

http://www.cacti.net/ or http://cactiez.cactiusers.org/ for easy setup
Cacti has a very active community and it offers many possibilities for monitoring. I personally use Percona templates for all my servers and VM's http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-plugins/1.1/
These are a little tricky to install but offer a good overview of system status.

Also have a look at Observium http://www.observium.org/ and Centreon http://www.centreon.com/

Hope it helps.

I read about Cacti that's good network traffic monitor. Can I install it in a CT to monitor HN and other CTs? How does it work? Do I need to install a template? As far as possible, I wouldn't touch proxmox installation.

Thank you

Thank you both. I'm just installed Observium in a CT. Look very nice and it seems works very well (installation at least) but... how can I add monitor agents? Someone can explain me? Do I need to add monitor agent in every CT and HN?
