ActiveMon - Past Project

ActiveMon is an extensible software framework for generation and analysis of active measurements that can be used for routine network health monitoring. It supports various tools that measure network health metrics such as route changes, delay, jitter, loss, bandwidth and MOS. Using a scalable scheduler called "OnTimeMeasure", active measurements are initiated in a regulated and non-conflicting fashion between multiple measurement servers distributed at strategic points in a network. ActiveMon also supports efficient measurement data storage and uses relevant statistical and visualization analyses coupled with alarm generation capabilities to help determine end-to-end network performance bottlenecks along measured network paths.
