Hi, 

Agree the only way is SNMP is the standard protocol for network monitor

Than it could be easily linked to OpenNMS as monitor Manager

Cheers
Marco

I am opposed to develop anything else than a SNMP agent.

Reason: ALL (!) monitoring systems can speak SNMP. SNMP is the ONLY standard in 
monitoring. Everything else is only monitoring system specific.

So if we develop a SNMP agent fpr strongswan immideately all monitoring systems 
we be able to monitor the IPsec VPN installations.

Of course, you could do some quick and dirty scrpting to monitor your own 
setup. But I want a really good solution to the problem. And sticking to the 
standard is a good point to start with.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Michael Schwartzkopff
