What I would like to see is some dependency information. If our T1 router
is out, maybe it should just report that, instead of reporting everything
connected to it is down. HP's OpenView (a.k.a IBM's NetView/6000, etc...)
and Tivoli have this kind of database but they are all fairly costly.
Of course it is a cool package as it is: The best API can be having the
source code! It is also nice to automagicly page LAN customers when their
router or link is toes-up and not have to bother your NOC folk.
btw: They also do autodiscovery well fairly well - sometimes too well.
