This is a perl script which gives you a number of
useful tools for diagnosing problems on network
management systems.
It uses TK to give you a nice GUI front end to the
script, so that you can easily switch between the
tools available :
- Trap Generator : This is very useful to generate
artificial traps to see if your management platform is
receiving and processing traps
- Syslog Generator : If you running a syslog server,
it is nice to be able to send in messages of differing
facilities and priorities to check to see how your
server will handle them
- Email Generator : I often have to set up event
forwarding or alerting via e-mail. Sometimes you don't
want to have to wait for an event to occur to see if
your smtp server is working OK - this tool will test
it for you.
- Ping : This is just a simple ping test to verify
IP(ICMP) connectivity to a device.
- TCP Connect : This tool allows you to check if a
TCP port is open. This can be useful to check whether
services such as Telnet, Http, SMTP are available.
