Although HOMER is not bad for monitoring things like ACD/ASR GLOBALLY, it is not designed to be used as a monitoring tool. It is a tool to have the signaling handy for troubleshooting (it can also keep logs, RTCP, and other things), and for this, I don't know anything better that HOMER. HOMER is specifically designed to troubleshoot VoIP.

I've never used CACTI, however, it doesn't look to be a SIP monitoring tool, but a network monitoring tool, able to monitor CPU, MEMORY, ETC... It won't monitor ACD, ASR, NER (Although i suppose you can write some plugins)... which HOMER does GLOBALLY...

You could extend HOMER to monitor on a per-host level (I did a P/R just for this, but it hasn't been merged yet, as there's no GUI to show that data and I hate AngularJS)

In conclusion, Maybe you should think about using both, as they seem to complement each other.

Hope this helps

Hey Robert,

I'm using check_mk / nagios for external monitoring and iftop and top / htop for on site analysis.

Is Homer the best free option for traffic and system monitoring GUI?

               Or is CACTI better option?
