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.

We use Zenoss and Observium. 

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.

  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.

    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...
