Software to monitor if pfsense and switches are alive

[Tillebeck]

Do you monitor if your pfsense boxes and switches are alive? What software do you use?

I need to monitor pfsense and switches (SNMP).

It is all good if I can just have online/offline status. That is the main priority.

Traffic graphs are also nice. Today I use Cacti that kind of do the job. But is seems to break down if I add to many clients to monitor so I stick with monitoring pfsense routers and the most few switches given the most trouble.

Thanks, Anders

There are a bajillion options here, prtg, observium are 2 off the top of my head other than the 2 already mentioned.  If you just want updown why do you need snmp can you not just ping them with say smokeping?
