Hello world,

We had been experimenting with the Solstice SyMon and the Domain
Manager v2.3 rel.B to create a network operations center. We wanted
to be able to remotely diagnose/monitor the remote and critical Sun
servers using the SyMon s/w under the umbrella of the Domain Manager.
Here was my problem post:
- ------------------------

Many thanks to the folks who tried to help,

Steve Sun <ssun@BayNetworks.COM>
Robert Angelino <angeliro@pde.paramount.com>

But special mention goes to Ken Pepple <kpepple@earthlink.net>
who pointed out:

> Your problem is a limitation of SyMON. If you look into the
> SyMON MIB, you will find that the only thing defined is a single
> generic trap. There is no variables to be polled for.

I think that explained a lot for me. Anybody else have any ideas
how to create an NOC for critical Sun servers only? Using SNMP?

Thanks again and Happy Holidays to all!!!
