Network Monitoring Software
Can anyone share their experiences with any Network Monitoring software they have used in the real world. I'm interested in looking at Interface Utilization to see if the current links are being stretched Bandwidth wise.
Ideally free for commercial use - I've been looking at MRTG. Anyone used this? If I was using it to monitor core router interfaces, does it have any impact on router performance at all?

PRTG is also very good but only the first 10 devices are free

again only first 10 devices are free. but it has a very easy web based interface and even the paid version is not to bad.
it uses SNMP (as most monitoring does) and this has minimal impact on performance. SNMP by its very nature is designed to have minim impact on performance, and in the real world even very heavy usage of it will not have any effect.
Mutiny can provide at a glance usage, predefined usage alerts, and at a click hestorical data/trends.

Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?
