Does there exist something which can measure how fast the webserver serves pages, the nameserver serves names, and the popserver pops? [ Hard to cut much when the editor sees it as one line... 8{) ] 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.
