Build network monitoring system
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a single pane-of-glass platform that keeps an eye on both my LAN and WAN links in real time. The solution must pull live data from the key points in the network—servers, routers & switches, plus end-user workstations—then display it clearly and alert me the moment something looks off.
Core metrics
• Bandwidth usage on every interface
• Latency across critical paths
• Uptime / downtime with historical trends
• Instant notifications (e-mail, SMS or similar)
I’m happy for you to recommend the stack—whether that’s an established open-source suite, a commercial package, or a hybrid—so long as it scales, has a modern web dashboard, and can be handed over with clear setup notes. The deliverable is a fully configured system (installed on-prem or in a VM), baseline thresholds applied, and a brief hand-off document so I can maintain it myself.
