Yes. And we have used it as a core daemon for WWW/based monitoring. With some changes (concerning ATM, Frame Relay, subinterfaces, BGP, different types of memory, switches). On Thu, 10 Jun 1999, Vadim Antonov wrote:

I do not know how it's about Sprintlink now; it was published there (ftp.sprintlink.net) about 3 - 56 years ago. You can ask Vadim directly.

The original version (1993 vintage) is posted at http://www.civd.com/~avg . It has man pages in English, and was used (maybe still is used) to monitor SprintLink backbone and some 500 frame-delay private networks on a single SparkStation 2. So i guess it's pretty much adequate for many mid-size ISPs today.

It has real-time alerts and postscript report generator, it does _not_ have any fancy eye candy. In other words, this is a piece of software designed for real operational support as opposed to boss pacifiers commonly sold as network management platforms. And yes, it is simple and easily integrated with automated configuration management systems.
