Stephen,<br><br>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.<br><br>Take for instance, I have 4 sites<br><br>Site 1 - router1, server1, switch, access point1
<br>Site 2 - router2, workstation1, workstation2, server3, access point2<br>Site 3 - router3, workstation3, workstation4, accesspoint3<br>Site 4 - access point4, workstation5<br><br>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.
<br><br>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.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 3, 2008 12:42 PM, Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX) <

<p>Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Nagios is a wonderful tool but it's status map is not the prettiest. Any tool
out there that I can integrate with nagios to produce nice maps. I will love
something that I can use to create multiple maps that are all connected to a
general map? <br clear="all">
