torrus-common

Universal front-end for Round-Robin Databases (common files)

Core part of the Torrus suite, providing support files needed by the other Torrus packages. It can be installed directly and used with any FastCGI-compatible webserver package. Torrus is designed to be a universal front-end framework for Round-Robin Databases using Tobias Oetiker's RRDtool. It may be configured to collect and monitor arbitrary data series from various data sources which can in turn be displayed on a web page. One of the traditional applications of this functionality is the collection and visualization of network information using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from SNMP-enabled devices. You will need to install libcrypt-des-perl and libdigest-hmac-perl for SNMPv3 support. SNMP over IPv6-transport is also supported after installing libio-socket-inet6-perl. Torrus has been formerly known as rrfw, round-robin database framework.

PBNJ is a network suite to monitor changes that occur on a network over time. It does this by checking for changes on the target machine(s), which includes the details about the services running on them as well as the service state. PBNJ parses the data from a scan and stores it in a database. PBNJ uses Nmap to perform scans.
