true. it took me a full day to get a running nagios system.. but i need a nms with a database backend.. it might be easier to integrate with other systems, especially rrdtool. > how about http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/ i think cacti is a front-end to rrdtool. it has a nice gui but is lengthy in setiing up devices and graphs.. its easier to use text files for me than cacti's web interface. cheers, ernest. > > > > > > Has anyone successfully setup SMS alerts in any?
