[f-nsp] Best NMS for Foundry gear?

[Cliff Fogle]

Ironview is okay.  Has some pretty serious flaws though.  The Sflow
implementation is particularly bad.

My number one tool for network insight is the InMon Traffic Sentinal,
which is a great piece of sflow/netflow software.

For other things such as configuration management and
host-to-switch-port mapping I've had to do custom scripting.  I've never
found any software that does good host-to-port mapping tho...regardless
of the hardware manufacturer. 

I've never found a satisfactory NMS in the end all.  It's really too
bad.  (Or I'm just too picky.)

Finding that most off-the-shelf stuff pretty much sucks for Foundry.
I've got a mess of RX and SI that I need better monitoring on - Cacti
for just stats/thresholding isn't quite enough.

Curious to know what others are using...
