Hi Sam, For SNMP Traps, we were using 'Concord TrapExploder'. I'm not sure, if this is still named that way - it's now more than 1.5 years ago, I'd been involved in that project. As we had configured all network elements to send the Traps to both TrapExploders, we had to de-duplicate the traps on the EventManagement piece of our NMS platform. But that's been an easy one... For Syslog, we had used syslog-ng and it was just running like a charm.. .. just my 2ct's regards Martin

It's looking like running all of our traps and syslog through a couple of relay devices (and then onwards to the various NMS's) would be quite a win for us.

These relay devices just need to be "dumb" forwarders (we don't require any filtering or storing, just reflection), but we need an HA pair (across two sites) without creating duplicates.

I have the coding skills to make this myself, but as coding skills come and go in our network team, we are looking for a commerical product so it will continnue to work after I get: hit by a bus / amnesia / visions

of grandeur.

Any recommendations / experience? This needs to scale to ~1,500 devices.

Thanks,

Sam
