Another reason to put the IM server on its own map: you can use a host resources probe to tell you when your disk is getting full, the CPU utilization is going up, etc. You can also graph the network utilization of the IM server's network port to give you some idea of the total load IM is putting on the network.
This has saved me some trouble by alerting me to a potential disk-full event before it got out of hand.

Thanks for the tip Doug,
I am running InterMapper server on an OS X G4 that is not running OS X Server so it appears enabling SNMP is not simple.
What is odd is that a G4 Xserve running 10.3.5 Server with Server Admin showing a checkmark next to "Enable SNMP" yet there is no regular SNMP response to the Host Resources Probe! I have used the root password that works with the Xserve probe for the SNMP "Read-Only" Community. Port 161 does not respond to a port scan yet other ports do. That is the box I need to know if the backup drive is getting full so I can backup to tape. The Xserve probe shows disk capacity but of course that never changes.
I would love to know percent of disk capacity used. The "BytesWritten" field seems to stop recording above 2 GB. How can I show or calculate the percent of drive capacity used, with an InterMapper alarm?
Thanks,
Rich Battin
