[Sysmon-announce] wanted: sysmon clients

[Jared Mauch]

	sysmon when monitoring large sets of hosts can
produce an unweildly set of devices to be displayed in the
html status pages.

	I've always intended for sysmon to have some
client/server interaction, and have implemented part of what
I think is necessary for this to happen.. read on if you are
interested in writing a GUI client application (Windows,
MacOS X, XWindows, Java, etc..)

	So, the thought is to have some client applications
for a few different OS'es that gets notified when an object
state changes, and can provide sorting, etc.. as necessary in 
the GUI, and obtain outage details/history of an object (once
i log that in detail inside sysmon).

	Basically, you 'subscribe' via (MODE outagelog)
to get notified, you need to send a command (eg: NOOP) at least
every 300 seconds, otherwise you'll get booted for
inactivity...

	you can then get the details for objects to be displayed
in the GUI via "SHOWOBJ" of the name that is displayed.

	Obviously you can see that I need to clean up a bit of the code
for the snmp data that gets dumped, and probally suppress
some irrelevant parts of the dump..

	Anyways, if you are interested, let me know, I will
be posting the source for this beta version of sysmon later today
at ftp://puck.nether.net/pub/jared/beta/
