It hasn't really changed. Almost every monitoring package I've found where you want to monitor something like 'disk space free on /' requires a daemon of some sort on the host - whether that's SNMPD or their agent. FWIW, I have had their agent running on many, many servers over the years - it

Agreed. And it REALLY isn't that complicated. Go spend some time with CORBA or TL-1 and then re-evaluate the learning curve. SNMP is really very straight forward as a protocol. If a specific vendor's MIB is difficult to understand or use, that is an entirely different matter. -Scott -
