Peeps, I am looking for a graphical network mapper that will tell me some vitals on some of my devices and network. ( docker image preferred, but can do whatever)
Looking for:
DNS / DHCP performance… are there some home devices that are not getting timely resolution to DNS /DHCP handouts.
Are there some clients (Wired / Wireless) that are chatty for no real reason.
I have a combo virtual / container client as well as my usual home bound devices. (TVs / Phones)
Thinking that I may need to VLAN or segment my network to split out traffic a little bit… thinking I’m swamping my home LAN with Homelab devices and a mapping / utilization tool would be great!
Thanks for any help!
Paessler PRTG is among my favorites outside of LogicMonitor, and has a freeware version https://www.paessler.com/howto-free-network-monitoring
I’d also look into Nagios Core, Prometheus, Zabbix, and Zenoss - All capable monitoring solutions, just dig into to see what it can do and if the feature set and layout works for you
Checkmk. If Windows/Linux(most flavors)/MacOS, you can install a small agent that gathers all kinds of data, that you can extend with all sorts of plug-ins (even create your own in Python, easy). Very flexible, and good tutorials/videos/docs on their site. The RAW edition is more than enough.
