Open Source Linux Network Monitoring Software

MN Viewer, short for Mobile Network Viewer, is a lightweight framework that is designed for system administrators who would like to be able to monitor many aspects of their network, right from their mobile phone.

Astmontray is a systray applet written in PyQt so users can monitor whether their PABX servers running Asterisk.org, the open source telephony platform, are up or not. It supports AMI authentication and runs fine on Linux, OSX and Maemo tablets.

ORLA, or Open Remote Linux Administration, is a project we’re working on as engineering studients in IT at Polytech Marseille Engineering School, France. The goal of ORLA is to provide Server Administrators a small yet effective monitoring tool on your Android phone. And security will not be a problem as we’ll cipher data transmission with AES-256 encryption. We just finished the design of the program and the algorithms we’ll work with, and we are going to start coding soon :) We’ll continue to maintain and upgrade the project even after the school’s deadline, because we think it can be useful to quite a lot of people.
