Thanks. ASB had me set up nicely with MRTG and Perl on my servers but we have had a refresh and I did not get the documentation into the server builders so I have a mix of branch locations reporting MRTG stats on their switches and some not. I'll look at some NMS stuff. Just like the free stuff I can quickly push out and have little expense to the cost centers. Thanks again.

David, Are you looking to setup something and forget about it? If not, I can't stress my own opinion harder than to say Perl is a dead, very ugly language. I'd do something with Python personally but then again if you plan to do something at any scale with more than just switches you might look at an NMS solution. I use Icinga at a few joints. There, I did my due diligence in attempting to thwart the proliferation of Perl in lieu of uncountable better languages that would serve your admin duties way better:) Good luck, jlc This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are property of Indiana Members Credit Union, are confidential, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom this e-mail is addressed.
