The alarms come off various devices. They are generally contact closures. We
need to route those to something. Netguardians will take a wide variety of
discrete inputs, analog voltages, ethernet pings etc. And it puts out things
link SNMP traps and even pots dial up pager type of notification.

What does the alarm contact offer? Just SNMP? If so, you need to figure out
if the alarm contact is going to be changing the OID or not. Some software
works better in this situation.

We have nothing at the moment. So before I purchased a netguardian I though
I would ping the borg to see if there is a cheaper or simpler system.
We recently discovered that we had a rectifier fault and an inverter fault so
our system goes down during a power failure while waiting for the generator to
start. I decided that we should probably monitor alarms.

What's the use case? Do you have an existing snmp system? Sometimes a box
with built in email client is less of a hassle, I'm sure there are cloud
solutions as well.

We are needing to add some monitoring of old fashioned alarm contacts in
one of our sites. In the past I used Netguardians. Not sure what Forrest has.
Is SNMP still the defacto NMS comm method or are there better more modern
stuff out there we should be looking at?
