Antwort: Re: FCAPS compliance

[Markus.Roelle at sytech.de]

Hi

here some facts for the FCAPS
fault mangement
with nagios you can configure a very well fault mangement.
you can do nothing as a reaction, or do mailings, or do handling for 
services.

configuration management
nagios does not support auto discover (don´t think this is supported)
but it´s very easy to configure. There are different configuration tools, 
but for me it´s faster to do it manually.

accounting
is not realized in nagios

performance
you can use management tools for performance data using snmp traps.
I wrote my own system to see grafics about normal unix shell commando 
results.

security management
not realized in nagios. I understanding under security management things, 
like control the security in the network.

perhaps you can use some date 

greetings

Markus
