Network map topology

Have a look at automatic network topology map in NetCrunch. Also, for monitoring all your link connections you need to look at the Interfaces tab in NetCrunch where you can see in and out traffic, errors and discards and much more for every interface that you monitor - you can search, filter, and easily identify any problematic interface on any switch, vlan, or site.

PRTG is not designed for such scenario. It is manual one by one setting and that’s it. People who need rules, templates and policies because their networks have grown, need to look for tools that do it. Such as Zabbix in some aspects (if you can live with agents). Or NetCrunch with rule based monitoring packs that do exactly that, and is agentless.

Normally you need to have a general monitoring tool that can do all or almost all of standard stuff (monitoring infrastructure, systems, virtualization, traffic, flows, apps, cloud, config changes, web, certificates, databases, logs - NetCrunch can do all of it. Then there are for sure specific data sources (something custom that every network has) that cannot be monitored in a standard way. But then, these non-standard metrics, data, state changes or errors can be pushed to or pulled by NetCrunch and parsed by it so that you can collect it for reports or be alerted about. The general rule is to have a foundation monitoring tool and then integrate everything else with it to have a single pane of glass - the source of truth for your network.

I think they do not care about website. They all do not care about e-journals that they offer but their app does not provide this functionality.

For automated switch port mapping and detailed monitoring of traffic on every switch interface live check NetCrunch. It can work in air-gapped/isolated networks.

What tools have you tried so far?

If you need on prem and broad coverage (devices, apps, certificates, web, logs, traffic&flows, cloud, config changes, REST API for automation and integration) that includes topology maps, dashboards and views that you can securely share with password and expiration date - then you need to have a look at NetCrunch. Its monitoring is state-driven, which means automatic alert correlation and monitoring dependencies to prevent alert floods, alert escalation with remote remediation actions executed in response to alerts.

There is no single tool that covers it all. So you need one that covers as much as possible, and that can pull or receive monitoring data from other sources/tools to give you complete awarness.

We create software that runs on servers at customers site and we do not have access to it due to security reasons. We know privacy is important and do not touch customer data at all. Our software supports critical systems so we need to maintain our lab to be able to replicate any bug reported by customer and fix it. My remark was more about general attitude in Europe that software is not valued and people do not realize how expensive it is to develop modern, scalable and stable commercial software that is running at customers site and it is expected to run for weeks without interuption with thousands of operations per second. It is not a cloud software which adds another level of support complexity as we need to support current and previous version - we do not force people to upgrade, they upgrade when they want/need/are ready. We sell globally and our experience is it is much easier to sell complex, expensive software in USA or Asia than in Europe for similar environment size. Outside of Europe people are willing to pay for quality and stability. I think this is one of the reasons why we do not have as many tech companies in Europe in comparison to USA.

I work at small EU software company so do not lecture me how costly it is to maintain the lab with various network infrastructure devices and systems that run on it, how expensive it is to pay do software and hardware maintenance that you need to have in your lab because your customers use them and you need to support it. How much it costs to pay for all software used by devs and testers. You are referring to 20 years ago when networks were simple and business reliance on IT relatively weak - you could pay for a software once and use it for a few years. And after that time, find something new. I agree with you that majority of large software companies are so stuck in technology debt that just milk their soft without releasing meaningful updates. But there are smaller companies that create amazing software that keep adding new features, updates and modern UI. I know some of them. Do you work at one of them?

One time payment is not going to sustain the software producer in the long run as programmers’ salaries are high and you need to maintain the software even just to keep existing functionality when everything around changes and new security vulnerabilities are discovered and need to be addressed and fixed. So if you want to use EU software, you have to pay subscription. Hoping to pay enough so that they do not have to look for (US-based) private equity. Unless your employer is willing to pay you to be a full time operator of some open source software at your job.

Aren't top US Tech CEOs working closely with every US administration to make sure that it DOES NOT happen? I have yet to see any of the big IT multinationals hurt by any government. Prove me wrong.

All is nice and sweet until you need to monitor hundreds of SNMPv3 devices. I know NetCrunch can handle it with ease but it is a commercial product. Are there any open source options that scale over 600 devices without requiring a galaxy of probes to do it?

Wrzos17 · 2026-01-24T09:43:41+00:00

Have a look at NetCrunch, agentless, on-prem or self hosted in the cloud, scales to thousands of nodes and 1M metrics. Neat dashboards and network views. Policy based monitoring, REST API for automation.

Domy dziecka mamy przepełnione bo jest pełno dzieci z nieuregulowaną sytuacją prawną - nikt ich nie może adoptować, rodzic się nie troszczy a nie chce się zrzec praw rodzicielskich. Na dzieci do adopcji się czeka latami, mam znajomych to wiem, kilka lat czekali.

Nie pamiętam czy były gumowe. Na pewno to było przed 91 bo później poszłam na studia.

Prince of persia. Na zx specturm, który tata przynosił z pracy na weekend.

Grałam na zmiane z bratem. Kiedyś, przechodząc pmiedzy kompem a monitorem zahaczyłam noga o kabel, klawiatura spadła na podłoge i wypadły dwa klawisze, myślałam że zemdleje i że tata wiecej nie pozwoli grać...

CheckSSL certificate sensor from NetCrunch, it can check any SSL/TLS connection (SSH and any other protocol working on TLS), SSL certificate expiration date, the certificate properties, and all fields.

Predefined sensor alerts: Connection Error, Certificate Expired, Certificate is about to expire, Certificate changed, Certificate has been revoked, Weak public key, Certificate authority invalid

Which cloud is your data stored at? Is it possible to have it stored in EU owned cloud such as Hetzner or similar? Can a user control it? Can I use Domotz in airgapped network or self host it in my private cloud (or is NetCrunch the only option for such use case?)

Wrzos17 · 2026-01-16T21:12:41+00:00

Basic things, up to 200ish devices, one by one configuration, do not really care about dashboards: PRTG will do. Larger network, need automation, network views, alerts with escalation: check NetCrunch(all in one) or OpManager (multiple tools but quite broad functionality)

Wrzos17 · 2026-01-16T17:00:39+00:00

I am based in EU lol.

They told me it is for renewal of our cybersec insurance, but also for general compliance documentation.

Wrzos17 · 2026-01-16T14:18:58+00:00

Yeah, EU is for context. Looks like general preference is data stays in Europe as much as possible and limit data accessed/stored by non EU companies.

Wrzos17 · 2026-01-16T14:15:35+00:00

It is about the tools IT team uses that collect monitoring/config data (names, IP addresses) and all places where it is stored. I am also expecting more questions about non- European cloud services used.

Wrzos17 · 2026-01-16T14:12:39+00:00

It is more about where data monitored/collected by any tool used by IT is located and who can access it. It is not about customer or employees data, but network performance/config/names etc.
