I was wondering does anyone know any open source network monitoring software. This software has to be pull data/bandwidth from switches, routers, comp, server, etc.. and have them displayed in graph format and other information. Preferable showing in results in a web based (IE8, Firefox, chrome).

Examples:

Zenoss and Nagios are what I use. Somewhat limited in bandwidth monitoring but you may like it.

i use Wireshark; it's nice.

for non-open source, whatsupgold is pretty decent.

Wireshark isnt really an up-time monitor. It's primary purpose is packet sniffing.

Nagios is decent as far as OS. PGD is a retail product, but its one of the best bandwidth monitors I've used.

May look into pfSense. It's got quite a bit more than just the monitoring portion but does give you this data, as viewable in a browser. (Uses rrd graphing system). Plus does just about everything else for network management.
