The version of netsnmp that is provided by Velocity Software includes many updates as well as testing. The issues in a "z" virtual environment is 1) overhead, 2) validity of data, and 3) complete information. Some of the mibs provided by the base snmp are expensive to utilize but still important, and the mibs provide incomplete data if you have a mainframe mentality where capture ratio is important. By replacing expensive mibs, and adding a significant amount of new metrices, capture ratio becomes very high and operational costs are reduced. SLES10 does have some new accounting features for which I've seen no validation. The reports and displays created that require the Velocity Software version are "ESALNXP, ESALNXA, ESALNXS, ESALNXC and ESALNXU" which represent full process data, WAS Application analysis, process configuration, and linux user analysis.
Thanks, Barton. That pretty well captures the information I was after. I'll yank out SuSE's package and install yours instead. ok r. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
