This is the project homepage of PerfMon which is a SNMP based performance monitoring tool. PerfMon has the following chracteristics:
  • High performance, it requires little cpu to run, even with more that thousand hosts being polled.
  • No lockups when multiple hosts are unreachable.
  • Elements are placed in a hierarchy of groups for easy access.
  • Easy to use web interface that is completely templated, it is possible to use different templates for each group.
  • PerfMon can search a configurable table and use the index found to poll some variables
    (e.g. search for a ifDescr with value eth0 and poll ifInOctets and ifOutOctets).
  • Configuration is easy, every instance polled requires only one additional line.
  • New SNMP objects to poll can easily be defined by configuring the MIB to use and the object from the MIB you want to poll
    (e.g. ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue from MIB CISCO-ENVMON-MIB).
  • You can add new types of graphs whithout programming.
Take a look at the screen captures to get a quick overview of PerfMon.
