Hi Guys.
trust you’re well.
please assist me, is there a network monitoring tool within dietpi-software that I could install what I require is the following :
- an easily accessible graphical interface (preferred web based)
- must be able to send notifications and alerts
- able to group or categorize IP’s or departments within a business
- access based for network admins

Hi,
this looks like a requirement for a professional network monitoring/admin tool. Something like this is not available by dietpi-software catalogue. But if you found some, being able to install on Debian, it should work on DietPi as well.

[bandwidthd](http://bandwidthd.sourceforge.net/) might be what you are looking for
> BandwidthD tracks usage of TCP/IP network subnets and builds html files with graphs to display utilization. Charts are built by individual IPs, and by default display utilization over 2 day, 8 day, 40 day, and 400 day periods. Furthermore, each ip address’s utilization can be logged out at intervals of 3.3 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour or 12 hours in cdf format, or to a backend database server. HTTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, VPN, and P2P traffic are color coded.
or perhaps [ntopng](https://github.com/ntop/ntopng)

For what you’re describing, I’d look for something that combines monitoring, alerting, and role-based access in one place. I’ve come across PathSolutions TotalView for this type of setup. It gives you a web-based interface, network alerts, device visibility, and tools to organize and monitor different parts of the network. It’s probably more suited to business environments than a basic DietPi monitoring package, but it could be worth checking if you need something more complete for multiple departments and admins.

With that pricing ($9,260 resp $472 monthly upwards), definitely not suited for anything below mid/large business environments. Hard for me to imagine that it can do better than a Prometheus Grafana stack, but not on me to evaluate.
