I've only read of this, but my understanding is the Tail-F product is for configuration management and supporting provisioning automations anyways, monitoring configs sure. As far as I know they cannot monitor or show network operational status, so your use case may not overlap with their capabilities, and perhaps, what you are likely suggesting is something that unfortunately doesn't exist yet: a tool for both configuring and observing a detailed operational state of the network devices in a vendor-agnostic way. However, for simple bandwidth statistics and port Up/Down; for most devices, this information is available through SNMP based management tools. Basic Up/Down and statistics could generally be gathered by any good SNMP-based NMS / network monitoring product, there are thousands of these, or OSS such as Cacti, Zenoss, and proprietary ones such as HP OpenView, SolarWinds, InterMapper, Whatsup; also, just about every major network device vendor has their element management system. Various NMS can also be configured to run some selected code or offer up a GUI command for running a snmpwalk against the ifOperStatus or ifIn/Out Octets. > interface so even non-network techs and CSR's can get basic is the port up > or down type stats without having to directly login to the network. -- -JH
