Even though monitoring tools are essential to the management of communications networks, Open Source applications still confront their potential users with considerable problems. This work analyses the limitations of the currently existing tools and presents the development of a new tool that solves most of those problems. The tool is based on a new architecture of objects and remote method inv...

Monitoring systems are an essential element in the management of information systems.

In this paper, the limitations of the current tools are analyzed, and a new architecture is developed, which in our opinion resolve the principal existing problems. The...
