MeshWatch Keeps Network Monitoring on Your Machine
A desktop suite for local-first network monitoring, covering syslog, SNMP devices, DNS traffic, file transfer, and subscription costs.
Field notes
The suite uses a desktop machine as the monitoring point: SyslogWatch receives RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 events, DeviceWatch polls equipment through plain SNMP, and TrafficWatch maps domain-level DNS lookups to devices. DeviceWatch is described as handling up to 250 devices and tracking metrics including temperature, fans, and power. The site also lists a free offline subscription calculator and a self-hosted file-transfer server, broadening the collection beyond network observation.
