Depending on which groups you want and which groups your devices
support, RMON gives you a lot more than counters.  You can configure
events and alarms with thresholds such that you don't need to poll at
all; if RMON senses an error, it will throw you a trap.  And you can
configure periodic snapshots, so that instead of needing to poll and
sense as events happen, you can have RMON generate snapshots for you,
which you can download later at your leisure.
