I poll my PacketFlux gear using Nagios and SNMP, and Nagios is already 
configured to alert me using an email-to-SMS gateway, so I can get temperature 
or voltage alerts pretty easily, and add new items to monitor without much 
hassle..

So how do Forrest’s products let you know of an issue?  Traps?

 

\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

No, we have fuse alarms, rectifier, inverter, and other comm equipment alarm 
contacts.  Circuit breaker alarms.  That is why historically I liked the 
netguardian product.  It eats everything.  Monitors DC voltages etc.  Temps

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).

We are needing to add some monitoring of old fashioned alarm contacts in one of 
our sites.  In the past I used Netguardians.  Not sure what Forrest has.  

 

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