I use rrdtool with a custom front end to keep historical data on key parameters for servers, routers, and switches, and then mon to alert me of all outages. This seems to be a good combination, as the first provides me with device health and troubleshooting data (and often times I can see impending network outages), while the later notifies me of the actual outages.

Currently I'm using mon, heartbeat, and LVS and am curious what network management suites listmembers prefer. I'm considering OpenNMS, Big Brother, and What's Up Gold. I've worked with Openview before (unfortunately) and it is not an option. Thoughts? Cheers, Sean
