It has powerful filtering capabilities and an "experts" feature allows developers to write advanced processing functionality to extend the application beyond the packet filters. Munin traffic report

Snort IDS and performance monitor
Snort is a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), which can view and analyze packets on a network to determine whether or not a system is being attacked by remote. Most Linux distributions come with Snort; it can write its collected information to a variety of different sources for later analysis, be it flat files or a database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL. As well, Snort can be used as a simple packet logger, sniffer, or a full-blown NIDS.

Wireshark solves the problem of being able to analyze network traffic on any size network. Wireshark does this with the power often found in more costly tools, but for free. So any IT department in need of a powerful network analyzer, but without the budget to purchase such power, can turn to Wireshark and miss nary a feature.?Some standout features are: data can be viewed live or from previously captured files, live data can be captured from numerous network interfaces and types, decryption is supported, and reports can be exported to XML, PostScript, CSV, or plain text.
Zenoss performance graphs
Zenoss is quite similar to Nagios, but reduces a lot of the configuration complexity. The unfortunate thing is that the Web interface can be quite intimidating, despite it dispensing with a lot of complexity in how monitored hosts are configured. Zenoss is available for a number of operating systems. You can install packages built for most flavours of Linux and Mac OS X, or build it from source on any other system where there are no packages pre-built. Also available are virtual appliances for VMware.
