[c-nsp] SNMP traffic monitoring / alerting

[Aaron R]

Hi there,

Briefly looking at that app it seems it is able to query oid's via snmp and
has the ability to set a max value. This isn't going to help me when the oid
value resets once it reaches its 2^32 bit restriction. 

Maybe I am looking at the wrong area. Have you used argus for this purpose?

Thanks!

Aaron.

The Argus tool:

http://argus.tcp4me.com

Will do that.  A little clunky to set up, however, rock solid stable  
for me once it is working.
