NetMRG is a software that enables network monitoring, graphing and reporting functionalities.
One of the standout features of NetMRG is its slide show capabilities. With the option of a global or per-group slide show, it allows you to view an entire device's graphs seamlessly and automatically move on to the next device without any interruption. This feature is ideal for observing the overall network performance without having to put in any extra effort.
Graph templates are another valuable feature that reduces the workload needed to add new devices. It also has events, responses, and notifications functionality that lets you receive alerts when odd behavior occurs in your network. Additionally, the software provides workday highlighting, allowing you to observe how your network operates when customers are in-office or when there is a deviation from the norm.
NetMRG offers several methods of information gathering via SNMP, [My]SQL or custom scripts with your preferred programming language. The tool includes an updater functionality that automatically updates itself with minimal administrative interaction required.
To use NetMRG, you need a few requirements to be met. These include PHP version 4.1 or above, MySQL version 3.23 or above, RRDTOOL version 1.0.28 or above, Libxml2 version 2.30 or above, and Libstdc++ version 3.2 or above. It is advised that versions later than this are used to avoid experiencing runtime issues. For instance, the software crashes on an SMP machine running version 2.96 that are resolved by upgrading to 3.2. Additionally, you require NET/UCD-SNMP, version 4.2.2 or above.
In the latest release of NetMRG, users can enjoy a few fixes and improvements. It includes a fix on GCC 4.3 compilation, restructuring of view pages to enhance in-page searching, a fix on MySQL 5 compatibility, addition of device properties, Ajax monitor selection for graphs, and the capability of chaining interfaces for easy navigation. Overall, NetMRG is an excellent choice for network monitoring, providing advanced features and functionalities to ensure the efficient running of your network.
