OpenSource IPv6 monitoring software...

Hi there,

I looking forward on OpenSource Monitoring software that support IPv6... Seems that old stuff like nagios (and thousand of packages based on this) doesn't have very good support about IPv6... Needs to add a second monitor... etc... -> pain in the ass.

I am looking forward from you guys, what you are using (opensource only) ?

How do you cope with production and monitoring with IPv6 network and services...

Kind regards,
Xavier
PS: I can do a mail with all what you will told me... after the topic has been closed..

Nagios???

Nagios seems to support IPv6 here just fine. I monitor(using Nagios) my
native IPv6 servers here and at a client that has an HE tunnel.

Running Nagios v3.2.0 in both locations.

Low level nagios does handle that (sure it's easy)... but usuable nagios systems like opsview for example doesn't.

(please don't start any troll about nagios or whatever, just "I use this software with ipv6"... purely neutral).

If there is any opensource software that support ipv6 and they can do monitoring I'm glad to hear that btw :)

I too am using Nagios (3.0) for monitoring single- and dual-stacked
systems. With 3+ you can set variables per host; I use this to define
the IPv6 address for the host, and then have a second set of service
checks for IPv6 services (and affiliated hostgroups) that probe against
the variable instead of $HOSTADDRESS$.

NRPE is in fact IPv4-only, although there are patches floating out
there that add IPv6 support to check_nrpe and the nrpe daemon. (I wrote
one for the latter, although it admittedly has its bugs, particularly in
ACL support.) Both patches can be found here, in addition to
(apparently) some links to other efforts to IPv6-enable NRPE which may
be cleaner:

While not complete, work on v6-support in OpenNMS is progressing nicely ...

Seems that old stuff like nagios (and thousand of packages based on this)
doesn't have very good support about IPv6... Needs to add a second
monitor... etc... -> pain in the ass.
