what I remember the Nagios “.check_snmp” rely on the standard SNMP MIBS
which are readily available. There is also the option of installing a
client side APP on the Windows servers that will perform the push rather than
the pull procedure. This will not be supported obviously, and it will be
even more difficult to use this method should all the UC apps become Linux appliances,
but it was much more secure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

small SMB management centre.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for monitoring but not good as a reporting tool. For call manager, there is the

It's gotten a lot better, and it's really your only solution going forward with
appliances I think.<br>
<br>
I think you can do SNMP, but push beats pull in my opinion.<br>
