[c-nsp] Network Monitor / Mgmnt App

[Joseph Jackson]

I must have alerts on device failures based on ping time outs is good but I
am really wanting SNMP trap notifications if a interface on a router goes
down.  Graphing of device usage i.e traffic / cpu / memory. A log analyzer
would be great since we have pix firewalls.  My main want would be good SNMP
MIB support for cisco devices routers/switches/pix The Intuit mib manager is
horrible. Network mapping would be nice but not a deal breaker.  I have been
pushing for CiscoWorks from based on what I read but my boss has come down
against it saying he has heard of it resetting routers....

If it were up to you, what sort of functionality would you like to see
in this application? 

What sorts of things must you have? What can you live without?
