Chris, we should talk offline. We've found some significant reasons (overhead) not to use the UCD mibs that create the alerts. We can do this extremly simply using a rexx macro as part of the standard alert system (that i'm sure someone at [EMAIL PROTECTED] could easily provide).
Since our interest is in the ability to monitor hundreds (or thousands) of linux servers, something that may double the overhead is a feature we tend to dislike and find alternate/better ways to accomplish. This UCD feature is one we've found to be a good one to replace... With the "velocity compiled' version of netsnmp and the velocity software mib, there are many more options. >From: "Little, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Sort of, but really it's more general than ESALPS -- which is >why I'm asking here.
