Its fine. I will explore other licensed NMS'. ManageEngine has great features, only that the prices are steep.

These things you'd do with a combination of the group system and IP SLA probes on Cisco devices.

Basically, it should be able to:
  1. Show the uptime of a device or group of devices over a period of time.

When I find someone who can actually articulate what a "report" is, we might add the ability to generate them.

I've used Observium and would like to adopt it as the primary Monitoring tool. Although the one I am using has limited features. We need a fully fledged version that can give us reports on performance, etc

That's a pretty difficult question, since there are a lot of unknown variables.

The best way to chose an NMS to to try a few and keep the one you found the most useful.

Comparing feature lists isn't often the best way, since usability is often more important.

Cheers Adam. So for starters, I need to implement a monitoring tool that can monitor Switches, Routers, Base Stations, Point to Point Radios, Servers, etc. What's required?

I don't think anything does both of those jobs, and anything which did would do at least one of those jobs incredibly badly!

Hi Team,

I need the best Monitoring Tool & Ticketing System support. Does Observium have the 2?

Thanks,
