Vermont is a versatile network monitoring tool that is available as a toolkit, designed to offer effective solutions for network monitoring.
Vermont is a versatile network monitoring toolkit that packs quite a punch with its PSAMP probe, IPFIX collector and aggregator, library for exporting IPFIX/PSAMP data, and SQL-based graphical network analyzer. VERMONT stands for VERsatile MONitoring Toolkit, which makes perfect sense given its toolkit-like functions.
One of the key features of Vermont is its library for sending IPFIX encoded metering data, a sampler, and a concentrator/aggregator subsystem. Both subsystems are fully configurable and can be separately run. The software also provides readers and writers for MySQL databases, which is a recent addition.
The development of Vermont was done in the context of two significant projects: HISTORY and DIADEM Firewall. The HISTORY project involved a partnership between the networking groups at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the University of Tuebingen. Together, they aimed to make high-speed network monitoring and analysis a reality. The DIADEM Firewall project focused on developing a distributed solution for fighting against network attacks.
Overall, Vermont has proved to be an exceptional network monitoring toolkit that is so incredibly versatile in its functionality. With its IPFIX collector, PSAMP probe, and graphical network analyzer, Vermont has quickly achieved the status of being an essential tool for high-speed network monitoring and analysis.
