Nice adds on to these are report aggregation and presentation tools. Splunk started out as one and has travelled much further to be pretty extensive in event correlation etc. Lire is a nice open source tool. I'm quite optimistic that there must be more tools that do graphing across time using RRDTool and the like. Have not ventured into this in the last few years and hence am pretty rusty. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
