Re: WISP management...general programs ?
As well as PRTG Traffic Grapher, Paessler also offer IP Check monitor that will send SMS alerts to your cell phones, etc. I haven't used it, so I can't say how good it works but not a bad price. |

Regarding HP-Openview, as someone that used to use it a lot (for HP's Canadian network no less), I foudn it to be extremely useful and robust. However, unless your WISP is on par with the Bell's and Roger's of the world (or for our American readers, the AT&T's and Verison's of the world), the cost of the software would put it out of reach of most of us here.
Granted my cost info is at least a year old, but I doubt they've put it on sale anytime soon. |

cacti | 
nagios |
1. I use cacti and cricket, I think for the most part Cacti will be easier to setup for setup simple results as it already has some templates as default. I still use cricket because there are a few scripts that I have written that I have yet to port into Cacti. MRTG (I am a *nix only shop so no experience with prtg) and Cricket are pretty close together as far as functionality, I jsut like the config of Cricket better than MRTG.
2. I use nagios and I plan on integrating it with Asterisk so that it has the capability to dial-out. Big-Brother, Big-Sister and HP-Openview are also monitoring\altert programs. |
