Pawikan Network Monitor

Downloads

Pawikan consists of three main packages which needs to be downloaded from the Pawikan's download site. These three main packages are named core-pawikan, cricket-pawikan, and webgui-pawikan. In order to install these main packages, you need to download first the installer-pawikan package which contains the directions and installation guides in installing a specific version and its compatible packages.

The Java GUIs can also be downloaded from the download site. Netcartographer, NetBrowser, and Network Weathermap are the Java-based visualization tools available for Pawikan. Without these packages, Pawikan will still work but the data will not be properly visualized.
