PRTG is "mainstream" because it's easy to set up and they have had a big marketing push lately. But I don't feel it's as customizeable as Nagios

@scottalanmiller Shrug lol
Yeaaaaaaaah I literally know nothing about any of these programs, addons, etc

@lhatsynot Ohhhhhh I see, I've never heard of it until my boss mentioned it. Now Nagios sure, who hasn't heard of Nagios?

Yeah, I feel like "mainstream" is weird for it. This isn't even their core audience and the project doesn't seem that widely used. Not small, but I've never seen an SMB that paid for it and never seen an enterprise that looked at it. Very much a medium player in the medium sized company market, I think.

I think Nagios is the leader here.

Tons of people haven't heard of Nagios but you'd be surprised how many of these monitoring solutions use Nagios as their underlying system. Also I bet your boss hasn't heard of Nagios unless he really did work his way up from a hands on sysadmin.

Nagios XI is pricey but it's even easier than FAN to set up. I used the demo and it was unbelievably easy (like my one year old daughter could do it). BUT, the price tag may be too much.

I use PRTG for all network monitoring/logging and they have tons of customization options for dashboard views.

I like PRTG also, it offers 100 sensors for free.
Easy to setup and with a very good mobile app.
