Bandwidth monitor with email alert

[SickPuppy]

Does anyone know of a cheap bandwidth monitor that will allow thresholds to be set and send email alerts when exceeded

http://www.bandwidthmonitorpro.com/ - maybe?

 

I am not sure what kind of solution you are looking for, but the above appears to be what you are looking for.

 

Outside of that you can look into Nagios, Zabbix, Zennos, etc - they are all opensource monitoring tools that most of the bigger boys use when they want to go opensource.

You can use Cacti.

There is an email alert module available for this.

SickPuppy,

 

Cacti is good, its free and actually works. There is a Windows Based bandwidth monitor program, that is free, but configuring thresholds was a little confusing.

We use the nagios linux version this works very well. You can also monitor pings,cpu memory and hard drive usage. I believe they have a windows version if your not familiar with linux. If you want to set up a linux vps me know.

Next v2 update has bandwidth monitor. No email alerts yet but that will come later.

Cacti with the Thresholds plugin works great. I get notify whenever any monitored system resource (e.g. bandwidth, CPU, RAM) goes over a threshold i've defined.
