I like that... I was thinking the integration pack would be X number of generic config lines that would need hostname and UID added to be valid. Something like APCintegration.cfg that would be loaded and then saved to the running configuration file.

The integration packs would all be "loaded" into SA and you select which "line" of it to use for the creation of a new entry. That would create the new entry and replace the hostname by the one you enter, then it gives you the EDIT screen (just as with the CTRL-D) if you only create one entry, if you create several based on the same hostname then it would simply create the entries just like the IMPORT (from the EDIT menu) does. Still it would also need a way to generate the integration pack "lines" based on an existing entry, how else would you create an integration pack? Dirk Bulinckx.

It should also update the UIDs. At the most base(but unsupported) level it could be a copy and paste into the config and manual updates of hostnames and UIDs. -Kevin On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 1:45 PM, Dirk Bulinckx <[email protected] (mailto:[email protected])> wrote: I think that this is indeed a good idea .just have to come up with a way to create/import them into SA Dirk Bulinckx.

APC is a good one, performance counters and services for Exchange or SQL server, Cisco OIDs, etc. Other monitoring tools call these Management Packs, Application packs, Integration packs, Dynamic Applications, etc. The creation would likely be a community effort but would definitely need guidance from Dirk about the best way to import into SA. -Kevin On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 12:45 PM, Vogl, Tom <[email protected] (mailto:[email protected])> wrote: What about a com utility that knows the standard MIBs for APC ups units? They you could have a simple app for checking temp, voltage, battery age, etc without forcing user to go through long SNMP strings. It's not about doing something new, as much as doing a common thing much easier and cleaner.... Just my two cents. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected] (mailto:[email protected])] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 10:46 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Ideas for new COM checks We're looking for some good ideas for new COM checks for Servers Alive.
