Depends on your requirements (of course). Depending on the device we
monitor:
- CPU usages (especially at routers and VPN devices)
- Memory usages (not that important usually)
- LAN Interfaces to other network components
- WAN interfaces
- Power Supplies (especially redundant PSUs)
- Fans
- Voltages (not that important)
- Temperatures
- Connections/Sessions (Firewalls and VPN devices)

CU,
Peter
