The life of a systems or network administrator requires us to maintain an expansive understanding of our network infrastructure to more effectively manage it. Amidst volumes of complex data that some IT problems present and network management is no exception to these complications. Visual tools allow us to better see trends and make sense of the macro view of our networks. Ntop, nBox, nProbe are just the right FOSS tools that can help us gain greater insight.
What is Ntop/nBox/nProbe
Ntop is an effective libpcap-based GPL application that can serve as a network probe while offering visual web-based insight on your network traffic flows. This was the first of many projects by Ntop founder Luca Deri in 1998. Via rich graphical output and statistical output Ntop helps you to better see how your network is being utilized and in turn it helps us better manage our networks. Ntop is not only easy to set up, configure, and use, but it provides a comprehensive understanding of behind-the-scenes for all time constrained administrators.
