I've been playing with lots of 'em recently. Of the free ones, only MRTG and Tkined are worth a damn -- even though lots of people swear by NOCOL, I've been swearing at it 'cause the configuration is hard to visually parse and not consistent across the various monitoring programs. I'd have to say that I prefer HP Openview to Tkined, but for what I'm doing the difference is not so great that Openview would be worth the money. Also, Tnm (the Tcl add-on that is used by Tkined) has lots of useful hooks for SNMP, ping, etcetera, and can be used to write custom stuff pretty easily. I'll be distributing some of what I write here once I'm happy with how it functions. ********************************************************* J.D.
