Not following how you are going to use SNMP without a monitoring
system.Packetflux Sitemonitor can turn a contact closure into a 1 or 0 OID that
an SNMP monitoring system can check at regular intervals, mine mostly polls
every 1 minute. But then you would typically have your NMS send an alert by
email or text message.I tend to monitor analog parameters like voltage or
current, then set trip points for the NMS to send an informative message. Like
UPS input voltage at the Podunk site has been below the minimum value of 100 V
for more than 2 minutes.---- Original Message ----From: "Chuck McCown via AF"

\Would love to NOT have to have NMS just for this.?

Packet flux can do it all too, the base unit can monitor two voltages and
temp and a few contact closures, if you need more volt inputs or closures you
add a expansion unit. No email that I'm aware of

I think if your installed equipment all came from one vendor, there might
be some way to do their proprietary monitoring solution.
However, SNMP as flawed as it might be, is the only standard that is nearly
universal (because some implementations are better than others).

Is SNMP still the defacto NMS comm method or are there better more
modern stuff out there we should be looking at?
