Mon and OpenView are not necessarily incompatible. We're using both to monitor a couple hundred machines, routers, etc. Checkout my alert script "hpov.alert" to see how we've integrated mon with HPOV.
Basically, we use mon to send traps to HPOV; HPOV then executes scripts to do stuff. That way, we can use mon to monitor all the non-SNMP services, protocols, etc. unavailable in HPOV, but also take advantage of all the nifty snmp and snmp trap features of HPOV. Scott Prater Dpto.
