Ya know what would be cool, if SA could check two SNMP values for a single check and  perform a mathematical operation on them. Good for monitoring disk space, memory available, that kind of stuff.You could do bandwidth as well, but that would require storing the previous value, subtracting the current amount, and using the difference as a percentage of a whole. I know most people concerned about bandwidth are using MRTG, but being able to alert during a prolonged period of 100% utilization (or 0% as the case may be) would be nice.
 
Also, what about logging based on templates? Generate the debug log using a template so you could format it as HTML for inclusion on a website? I'm doing this using the plain text file, but it sure is ugly when you view it in IE.I looked all over the place, and couldn't find a way to dynamically change a .txt file to html (ASP or Java), but I'm sure they do exist...
 
I had some other ideas, but I can't remember them now.
