the newer openview you have the more alarms it generates... you need to spend a hell lot of time tuning alarm correlation etc. by the way did anyone see a nms that's capable of working in duplicate-ip environments like mpls vpns etc? e.g. one that'd use saa agents on cisco boxes (or vrf-aware remote commands) to poll the network... thanks -- Tomas Daniska systems engineer Tronet Computer Networks Plynarenska 5, 829 75 Bratislava, Slovakia tel: +421 2 58224111, fax: +421 2 58224199 A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.

Also take a look at JFFNMS - http://jffnms.sourceforge.net/ It might be worth letting us know what your management requirements are before dismissing OpenView ;-)

NANOG:
I am curious if anyone has been working with HP Openview
as an NMS. I've
been looking at it (Specifically the service call
OpenNMS...http://www.opennms.org I'm not portion) and so far,
have not been impressed - I'm just not seeing the feature set I would expect. Am I just being stubborn and not seeing the advantages of this?
From my understanding the full HP Openview is in beta, but I'm not sure.
I've done some researching on HP's website, and I can't seem to really find any relevant data. One of the large sticking points is I am trying to find a *nix based client, specifically one I can get working on Solaris, and so far, I'm having a difficut time tracking one down.
Am I wasteing my time with HP Openview? If you are using it, are you pleased? Should I accept fate and life and eat chicken for supper tonight?
Any advise and suggestions are welcomed.
