Hmm, we must use different version of netsaint, it's pretty easy to admin, IMHO. The problem we have with it, like mrtg, it doesn't scale. And yes, the history and trend reporting is terrible (non-existent). I like opennms. It's a true NMS, logs to a DB (postgres by default), has lots of canned reports, and has an awesome report tool, which is getting close to crystal report writter. It's 100% Java, take more horse power to run, more time to setup. But like most flexible things it more complicated then netsaint. We have only run this on our development network, so I cannot comment on how it performs in a "real world" setup. -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org Minnesota Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
