panoptes is a extensible network monitoring tool. Similar to nagios with all of the add on functionality (merlin, pnp, etc...) already built in with a modern web interface based on dojo.

Monitor objects are stored in a central mysql database and any number of monitor nodes can access the same database allowing for horizontal scaling

It currently supports monitoring

• ICMP
• TCP ports
• SSL Certificate Expiration dates
• SNMP objects
• custom shell scripts can be uploaded to monitor anything not otherwise included
• HTTP response codes
• HTTP GET page content

panoptes consists of two main programs.

• panoptes_monitor is the daemon that actually monitors entries
• panoptes_discover is an optional program which can be fed a tcpdump output file to help automatically discover devices on your network. Or alternatively, can run a live packet capture if you configure a span port on your network and point panoptes_discover at that interface. OS detection is supported via p0f.
