Dell Open Manager and Cisco stats "out of the box" should be better?

Hello,

I've been using Orion NPM for years and it is so fustrating that I still have to use MIB walks etc to get the OID's and then create the UDP's to get basic info.

We need Orion NPM to import out of the box basic stuck like:

Dell servers and Equallogic SANs:

Temps

Disks health

RAID types configured and health

Monitor the IOPS with alerts and graphs (take a look at Dell Equallogics SAN head quarters it's free and amazing)

Cisco

Individual port stats/errors like collisions, late collisions, CRC etc so we can get alerted on duplex issues.

Current VLAN and trunk, Etherchannels configured

temps

Why not have import the Dell and Cisco Visio stencils too, so when you add a server for example you can "see" the server and disks showing as green and healthy ect.

I'm sure all this would be a good selling point as most admin guys prefer 1-2 utilities to manage a network rather that 6-7.

thanks

Hi Gonzo--

Marked for the PM and thanks for the feedback.

Good feedback GonzoUK and this is for sure a direction we are moving down. With 9.5 we added depth on wireless monitoring and in vNext based on the what we are working on post we are adding depth around Fiber Channel switches and VSAN's.

We'd pay for that! Ooops, we already did! Kidding aside, this is the kind of stuff we'd like to see out of box as well.
