What kind of information does NETSNMP provide? I have looked at what I can find on Sourceforge, but I'm not getting a lot out of it.
Thanks, Jon <snip> In looking at my many options for data acquisition from Linux, there is really NO comparison to what is provided by NETSNMP. This comes pre-installed with redhat and Suse, is very inexpensive to operate, has no hooks, needs no recompile, optionally does not monitor idle linux servers, and has pretty good support. Oh, and is free. I'd like to repeat that: Low operational cost, no hooks, free agent, lots of very useful data. The only catch would be that as far as I know, ESALPS from Velocity Software is the only solution that really utilizes this open source package. In my many performance presentations, I often show 30-40 linux servers on one vm system - from inside Linux. Thus it is easy to prove that installations actually use this solution, the agents operate at low cost, and you would not be wasting your time doing kernal compiles. If anyone is at WAVV this weekend, I'll show some perfectly useful, production examples of using NETSNMP. <snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
