Freeside:2.3:Documentation:Torrus Installation

Introduction

Torrus is a network monitoring system (NMS) for discovering and monitoring routers, switches and other network equipment with SNMP. Starting in version 2.3, Freeside includes an integrated/skinned Torrus (like it does RT), providing 95th percentile and straight volume billing.
