Network Monitoring Software?

[theexcession]

Looking for something that will monitor a small network, preferable using SNMP but I guess ping would do for now.

Syslog would be sweet to have as well.

Something like What's Up Gold - but that's too expensive.

I tried Samurize but it runs too slow on my system here for some reason. The GUI is totally unresponsive.

Anyone got any other suggestions - I'd prefer it to run on Windows but could setup a Linux box if the Application is good enough.

Big Brother seems to work OK, from the small amount of tinkering I've done with it;

(There's a commercial version as well, if you want to give someone money...)

I run a bit of kit called "internet watchdog". Not sure if it can do SNMP but it can do all sorts of other protocols, and perform all sorts of actions upon failure/continued failure etc.

Think it was about £40.
