graphical mapping tool

[Alex Dehaini]

Stephen,

nagvis is good but it lacks a very important feature that is present in most
NMS. It can't tell you if any host if down within a site.

Take for instance, I have 4 sites

Site 1 - router1, server1, switch, access point1
Site 2 - router2, workstation1, workstation2, server3, access point2
Site 3 - router3, workstation3, workstation4, accesspoint3
Site 4 - access point4, workstation5

Now, you can have a default map that link these 4 sites. With nagvis you
have to monitor all the devices at each site and show them on the map. I
don't want a map that will show all my devices on one cluttered map. I want
a map that will add the four sites above and each site will be able to show
(problem, on or off) on the main map if any device on any 4 sites has a
problem.

I sent several emails asking the nagvis developers if this is possible but I
got no reply. If nagvis can do this, I will use it without hesitation.
