(reporting capabilities aside - i'm talking about notifications for service/host outages, and accuracy of polling/checks, as well as customization of checks/scripting etc) At first glance it appears fairly robust, but otoh, it's java-based, and is not even mentioned in a networkworld monitoring systems article i found that had zenoss, nagios etc etc.... :\ Thanks, and kind regards, Jamie </BODY> </HTML>
