Network Monitoring - PRTG

I wanted to tell everyone about this cool network monitoring software called PRTG Network Monitor from Paessler.  You're able to monitor up to 10 sensors with the freeware version.

It's pretty cool how it works.  We initially set it up to monitor when a T1 line goes down, and it works great for that.  But it also monitors traffic patterns and alerts us when a link has an unusual slow or high volume of traffic for that particular time and day.  This is a nice feature, because it could alert you if there is high traffic, which could be an indicator of a virus or malware. 

This is a great tool that has both a web interface and a thick interface.  Check it out at:  http://www.paessler.com/prtg
