RE: Automated Nmap Scans / Front End

["Soi, Dhruv" <dhruv.soi () torridsecurity com>]

MARS (http://leapfrog-mars.sourceforge.net/) is also quite easy to configure
service monitoring tool. It's written in Java and has got few plug-ins like
sending email notifications, SMS notifications on change of service status
etc..... Services can be configured for monitoring with few mouse
clicks...Nagios is a NMS tool and it takes little bit of extra time and
efforts configuring it...though is very powerful than simple service
monitoring tools....but where the requirement is just for monitoring
services then I think MARS can be used.....

Hi !

I used Babelweb (www.bb4.com) before. This was a free tool then (3 years
ago), runs under nix and win boxes, is quite easy to set up, monitors the
standard services (http, ftp, pop, imap, ...) and you can make it monitor
what you want writing your own scripts.

BB is easier than Nagios, but a little bit less powerful.

HTH.

Well,
I am using Nagios to monitor my networks.
You'll find Nagios in nagios.org. It is a very complex but intuitive
distributed tools' set to monitor many network's services .

Moreover if you are looking for more functionality have a look to
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ in this community you'll find much manuals,
plug in and add ons for your Nagios.
