Monitor network connections, bandwidth usage, and system resources across multiple servers with Alkanet, an open-source network monitoring tool designed specifically for Linux.

What is Alkanet?

Alkanet is an open-source network monitoring and management tool designed specifically for Linux systems. It provides a centralized way for system administrators to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot their network infrastructure.

Some key capabilities and features of Alkanet include:

• Monitoring network connections and bandwidth usage in real-time
• Tracking utilization of system resources like CPU, memory, and disk space
• Automatic discovery of devices on the network
• Customizable alerting and notifications when issues are detected
• Visual graphing and reporting for historical analysis
• Support for automating administrative tasks and remediation
• Agentless monitoring architecture for easy deployment
• Web-based interface accessible from any device

Alkanet has a client/server model comprised of lightweight collectors installed on target Linux machines that feed monitoring data back to a central Alkanet server. The server aggregates and analyzes the data, allowing admins to easily review statistics, trends, alerts, and problems across their entire infrastructure from a single pane of glass.

With its focus on Linux monitoring and open-source codebase, Alkanet provides an attractive no-cost alternative to paid solutions like SolarWinds, PRTG, or Datadog for organizations relying heavily on Linux, with the added benefit of being highly customizable to adapt to specific needs.
