Network monitoring, discovery and inventory
ntopng network monitoring and discovery
Network discovery with ntopng
This talk shows how ntopng, an open source monitoring application, can be profitably used to discover, characterise, classify and enforce network traffic policies.
ntopng is an open-source passive traffic monitoring tool based on packet capture. These monitoring capabilities have been complemented with active device discovery for the purpose of characterising them (e.g. is this device a tablet, a TV or a PC?) and thus apply monitoring decisions (e.g. a printer should not do any bittorrent traffic, a router should not print). This talk covers passive and active techniques implemented by ntopng for discovering and classifying network devices. As well it shows how this information is used to create monitoring reports and enforce security policies. Finally the talk shows how selected devices can be both actively and passively monitored in order to implement a comprehensive monitoring solution.

In March 2021, OpenNMS will celebrate its twenty-first year as a free software project. Much has changed since the early days, both within the project and in the world in which people build and monitor networks. Surprisingly little has changed with respect to the project's mission, even as major changes are happening with the project's corporate steward, The OpenNMS Group. Newcomers will receive a brief background on the OpenNMS project, and longtime users will come up to date with the project's ...

Julian and I work for Icinga and want to shed some light on what, how and why we do what we do and also what YOU can do. The format is going to be a bit like a podcast, where we just talk about our topics for a little and try to provide some light entertainment while staying technical.

Telegraf is an agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics. With over 200 plugins, Telegraf can fetch metrics from a variety of sources, allowing you to build aggregations and write those metrics to InfluxDB, Prometheus, Kafka, and many more targets. In this talk, we'll take a look at the different plugins Telegraf provides for collecting metrics about our networks, as well as the latest features of InfluxDB 2 that make sharing our configurations with others a piece of ...
