I'm working on some NetXMS templates that would monitor and alert on link utilization... throughput divided by MAC capacity (or PHY divided by X).

Specifically, how do you get notified when a link is getting close to saturation? Does your solution take RF link quality into account or is it blind to the actual, real-world link capabilities? Looking for something that is fire and forget. I think that initial data entry and updates will quickly become untenable if the responsibility for determining the link speed is left to a manual process. For example, if I have to run a link test to determine the link speed for every link, then that is going to be a nightmare just for the initial data entry alone. If I have to do that even once a week, it becomes a non-starter. By the time I was finished doing them all, I'd immediately have to start over to keep the links even close to being accurate. That would require a full-time employee just to handle that single task. I don't care if it's open or closed source, free or paid. I just need something that works. -- Christopher Tyler MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Services 417.851.1107
