The mapping should be handled by Mapcom. Not really sure all the benefits that come by integrating it but it is something we own and I figured I may as well see what it can do.
At the moment I am probably just going to write a trap receiver in C++ or C# and an alarm client so everyone can have real time trap monitoring.

Zenoss for more "powerful" things like custom datasources, alerting, etc. Observium for a simple look into the environment. Neither offer very advanced mapping platforms, though. You can feed Zenoss GPS coordinates to plot things on a map. Josh On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 12:40 PM, Bill Prince <part15...@gmail.com> wrote: What does your mapping department need from the NMS? Seems like you at least need a way to attach GPS coordinates to a node, or to retrieve said coordinates from the node. In fact, I'm pretty sure that MRTG, being very basic does not even have a database. On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 9:20 AM, Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: OK, so the query was buried in another email. So, to make it a bit more explicit, here is the question: What do you like for NMS? I need something that will integrate with software used by my mapping department. The software they use will work with a whole bunch of different NMS packages (it claims). I have only worked with PRTG and MRTG in the past. Seems that Solarwinds seems popular with the mapping software people but there are many more. If I do this right, we will have a real time system map showing all our fiber and all our active electronics with current alarms and status. I think... -- -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com
