Sorry for the semi-OT - just a request for info: did anybody find a way to use 
Nagios to consolidate multi-tier response time info, in regards to building a 
WHOLE picture of client-server apps traversing multiple levels of servers? To 
be more specific: take the example of a generic case of a browser-based 
client accessing a web server, which is just front end for a database server. 
If no obvious pluggins already developed, to accommodate integration into 
Nagios, does anybody at least have some awareness (personal experience) of 
third party (even commercial) tools whose output could be used to "report" 
back into Nagios?

As I mentioned in another email of mine (but never followed up with details, 
as nobody expressed any interest) I was tasked to evaluate different 
products, for different layers of network monitoring, and - in regards to 
something coming close to what I am asking here (application layer) - I have 
found:
- http://www.netiq.com
- http://www.netqos.com
- http://www.compuware.com
- http://www.opnet.com (quite impressive!)
- http://www.somix.org (WebNM as a consolidator solution, which I believe 
could be really challenged by Nagios! - worth a look) - this one is where I 
see Nagios being even stronger, if it could consolidate the likes of one of 
the other tools above. If you want to take a look at it, choose WebNM from 
the product options, username:demo, password:greatfun.

TIA,
Stef
